Coleccion Xylon 5 (Lorenzo Homar)
It’s 1970 and there’s an international exhibition of woodcuts being held in Puerto Rico. An exhibition of woodcuts obviously calls for a 4-color silkscreen by Lorenzo Homar. Totally worth it just for his lettering and the way he prints black on gray to make a hidden effect. Also, the following is swiped from the Poster House site. They had a show of Homar’s posters that you just missed: “Lorenzo Homar was a pioneering printmaker, poster designer, calligrapher, painter, illustrator, caricaturist, and costume and theatrical set designer. Active from the 1950s through the 1990s, few equal his impact and influence as a teacher of poster design and printmaking in Latin America.” This is one of those pioneering posters.
