Synopsis
Mit seiner Position zwischen Kunst und PopulArkultur und der Verbindung prAgnant verknappter Text- und Bildbotschaften bietet der Comic ideale Voraussetzungen fA1/4r seine Aneignung im Plakat. Anhand von zeitgenAssischen Beispielen geht die Ausstellung den Wurzeln des Comics in der Plakatgestaltung nach. Der japanische Farbholzschnitt, Jugendstil und Pop Art haben je auf ihre Art den Comic beeinflusst. In den russischen Rosta-Fenstern der 1920er Jahre wurden bereits pointierte BilderzAhlungen verwendet, um soziale Inhalte massenwirksam zu verbreiten. Bis heute nutzen Gestalter die inhaltlichen und formalen Aspekte des Comics - satte Farbigkeit, Stereotypie und Drastik in der Zeichnung und Reduktion im mimischen und gestischen Vokabular - fA1/4r die Vermittlung brisanter Botschaften. Plakate fA1/4r kulturelle Ereignisse weisen eine groAe stilistische Vielfalt auf und belegen darA1/4ber hinaus die VerselbststAndigung von Elementen der Comicsprache zu grafischer EigenstAndigkeit.
Synopsis
Located between art and popular culture, combining succinctly abbreviated textual and visual methods, the comic offers the ideal conditions for its appropriation by the poster. Using contemporary examples the exhibition explores the roots of the comic in poster design. The Japanese colored woodcut, Art Nouveau, and Pop Art - each has influenced the comic in its own way. The Russian ROSTA windows of the 1920s were already employing pointed visual narratives to disseminate social content to the masses. Even today, designers employ aspects of the content and form of comics - saturated color, stereotyping, and drastic approaches to drawing and reduction in the vocabulary of facial expressions and gestures to communicate explosive messages. Posters for cultural events reveal a broad diversity of styles and also demonstrate how elements of the idiom of comics have developed a graphic autonomy.
