Karel Teissig was a Czech painter, illustrator and graphic / poster designer. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (1945-50) at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels (1948) and since early 60s became one of the most important figures of Czechoslovak poster design along with Karel Vaca and Zdeněk Ziegler. His imaginative posters are inspired by anything from collage / surreal art to illustration or photography and are undeniable among the best movie posters of the era. In 1961 his unique style won him a second prize for a poster titled The Possessors in the Toulouse-Lautrec Prize international film poster competition in Paris.

I chose it exactly because of the description: soft purple, mysterious hat, intriguing burning figure… It makes me think of an opera. As often happens, aesthetic design choices are self-explanatory. It works immediately (or not) and you know implicitly why. In that case, it was irresistible colors, the moon, a dark and sort of “tragic-comic” character in the front.
