Moon poster
(large) Modern Wall Art by artist and graphic designer, Enzo Mari is
perceived as the critical conscience of design. It is a silk-screen
printing reproducing the Moon with geographical accuracy: “today it’s
necessary to follow astronautical events as once you followed the
challenges of daring travelers, putting small flags on large maps” is
the humorous presentation that wrote Bruno Munari in 1959. Born in
Novara, Italy, in 1932, he has dedicated his attention to research into
the methodology of design since the early ‘50s. Enzo Mari started his
career with studies on visual perception, later incorporating his
research into games for children, graphics, design and architecture. Art
Edition 1972 new edition 2017. La Luna Screenprint 1959-1972 Origin:
Italy Nature Series, white/silver/grey on black. The screenprints “Serie
della natura” is based on an approach that can bring some artistic
images into people’s homes. Art becomes more accessible to everyone
thanks to silkscreen printing, which replaces the concept of a single
original version. The arrow, the star, the wave, the moon, the cube and
the clover are archetypal symbols, “symbols that can be interpreted in
many different ways depending on the observer’s perception and they are
also timeless memories to cherish”. The elementary graphic image reveals
the iconographic meaning, transforming it into a symbol. MOON poster is
a silk-screen printing with modern techniques but keeping print jobs
faithful to the original edition. It is made of black bookbinding
fabric, on which is first printed a black background; then the other 4
colors overlap, making up the design: an elegant combination of silver
gray, white and two shades of unsaturated pink. Dimensions 40" x 40"
(100cm x 100cm).
