š Alles Theater Gera ā 1991 ā Original vintage Poster by Roman Kalarus
Internationales Openair Spektakel im KĆ¼chengarten | 28ā30 Juni 1991
| Offset lithograph | 98 Ć 68 cm | Germany
š¬ Introduction
Roman Kalarus channels the metaphor-rich Polish Poster School into a jubilant, postāreunification German festival identity. The composition is dominated by a crescentālike theatrical mask that splices lashes, lips, and cheek planes into a collaged visage, rendered in saturated cyan, violet, and sunburst yellow. Against a crimson field, a kinetic, handāscrawled āAlles theaterā arcs in white while āGERAā cuts across in red; the dates sit in a black band reminiscent of a marquee. A ribbon of electric blue along the lower edge announces the openāair venue in the KĆ¼chengarten. Printed at generous B1 scale, the offset lithograph is designed to read at distance and reward close inspection with painterly edges and graphiteālike accents.
āØ Why It Matters
Issued months after German reunification, this crossāborder collaborationāPolish designer, German stageācaptures a cultural thaw and the eraās appetite for expressive, nonāliteral poster art. Kalarusās signature blend of experimental typography, saturated gradients, and metaphorical imagery places the work squarely within the late Polish Poster Schoolās international reach, while its subject adds crossover appeal for performingāarts ephemera and earlyāā90s European festival graphics. Survival in this size is scarce: such event posters were posted outdoors and typically discarded, making wellāpreserved examples notably collectible.
