He was a graphic artist and a painter, mostly active during the 1960s and the 1970s. He made great advertisements for numerous commercial companies, and he designed a plenty of fine movie posters. His style was varied, effectively using a wide range of techniques. This painted poster maquette is an attractive piece with intensive, energetic brushwork and a highlighted contrast. Although it is based on only two colours, black and green, it can be highly expressive by the used graphical tools. Its visual character reflects the international and local trends in movie poster design of the 1960s.
