"Modern Czech Posters" at Museum and Archives, Kyoto Institute of Technology, presents posters from the central European country. A landlocked nation, the Czech Republic was a breeding ground for culture and art until the establishment of a communist regime at the end of World War II. From that time until the collapse of the regime at the end of the 1980s, posters for movies and exhibitions were one of the few media in which Czech artists could exercise free expression in the country. Talented painters and designers worked on posters during this period, establishing an original, bold and witty design style. One such poster designer, Josef Flejsar (b. 1922), has moved onto the international stage since 1990s, winning a grand prize at the World's Most Memorable Poster Competition in Paris in 1998. On display are 40 posters created from 1960s to the '70s; till May 1.
