Art on the Poster - 100 years of Danish Poster Art
09.05.07-
17.06.07
The Royal Danish Embassy, in collaboration with the Danish Poster Museum in Århus, is exhibiting nearly 40 posters which show the artistic and technical development of poster art over the last 100 years.
In Danish the expression "på plakaten" is a pun.
Literally translated it means "on the poster", but it also often means "what’s up, what’s on". In this exhibition, what’s on the poster is art.
The exhibition takes you from the great classic Tuborg beer ad "The Thirsty Man" from 1900 through outstanding examples of Danish art nouveau to the heyday of the forties and fifties, the period in which most of the Danish poster classics were created.
The time journey through various art genres and styles ends with the 1990s and the important artist Per Kirkeby. Experience an exhibition of Denmark’s most creative poster artists and see how they view their country.
