This poster, made by Boris Bućan, uses screenprinting, a process which is more commonly associated with commercial printing than fine art. The design features a striking contrast between the solid black figure and the vibrant blue background. Note the way Bućan has exploited the screenprinting technique, creating a sense of texture and depth, while the deliberate smudges of color and imperfect registration gives this work a human, handmade feel. Screenprinting democratized art production, making it accessible to a wider audience. This piece, advertising a hospital, embraces this ethos by using an accessible medium to communicate with the public. The layering of ink builds up areas of density and opacity, which are tied to wider social issues of labor, politics, and consumption. By focusing on its materiality and production process, we can appreciate its cultural significance, recognizing its place within both art and wider visual culture.
