poster designer: Milan Grygar, 1971

Milan Grygar is Slovak born audiovisual artist, musician and painter. His main passion re-occurring throughout his life is the relationship between the drawing and the sound. He has been very active also as a graphic artist and designed over hundred movie posters and a good number of book illustrations. Influenced by avant-garde tendencies and music, he took his poster designing into another level. Their simplicity was giving headache to communist censors and apparently was very problematic (paraphrasing Zdeněk Ziegler from one of his radio talks). His movie posters are pride of every poster collection.
