Karel Saudek was Czech comics artist, illustrator and poster designer. His self-taught style, which was considered too ‘western’ by the Communist state authorities was a reason for Karel Saudek’s persecution and resulted in an absolute ban during 1971-75. From 1966 he has designed 39 movie posters and many of them truly iconic.
