At the center of the composition appears a monumental sculptural figure alongside simplified objects and architectural shapes. These elements are arranged within angular planes of color—green, red, and white—creating a layered composition that suggests both exhibition display and modern architectural space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003eExecuted in gouache, a medium widely used by poster designers of the time, the work reveals the process behind professional poster production. Artists typically created a painted model or maquette, which would later be adapted for lithographic printing.
