This poster is a good example of György Kemény's work from the 1970s: after his successful pop art period he decided to change and restrict his compositions to pencil drawings where the idea is more dominant than the looks - they are smart and humorous. Just like on this particular piece where the nose and the eyebrow of the face are replaced by a female figure illustrated in an erotic position.
