This image is a poster for a lecture series called "The Masters Series," which emphasizes the theme of honoring great visual communicators with a focus on the art of "American Head." It highlights an exhibition of Chwast's work, guest-curated by Paula Scher, at the Visual Arts Museum, which ran from October 6 to November 8, 1997.
The layout of the poster creatively uses typography and city street names, resembling a map, with red, green, and white text contrasting against a dark blue background. The poster also includes information about a lecture on October 20, 1997, to be held at the museum. The abstract composition of the design reflects Chwast's distinctive approach to graphic design, showcasing his innovative use of type and space.
