About this poster
Armin Hofmann summarises the theme of 3000 years of amphitheatres and theatre architecture with just a few shapes in this extraordinary poster for a 1955 Basel exhibition. The Basel designer and former teacher at the Basel School of Design was one of the founders of the "Swiss graphic style" and was known for his formally unique black and white posters, whose message he skilfully reduced to a minimum.
