An offset-lithograph poster by Ben Faydherbe that advertises the De Haagse Zomer festival by combining photographic imagery, vivid color, and bold typography to suggest summer energy and celebration.
A large, softly screened photograph of a smiling woman is intersected by oversized red and blue letterforms and a bright orange sunflower, creating a lively, layered collage of scale, color, and light.
The work exemplifies late-20th-century Dutch graphic design’s use of photo-offset processes and typographic layering to turn functional publicity into a visually expressive, public artwork.
