History and Work of Ikko Tanaka Essay

Looking over the go of Henryk Tomaszawski I make up his last to be uniquely his own in the way that each design is composed. I also felt hes done a handsome trouble in expressing his culture throughout his tend. Id have to comp be his art form and technique to Japanese graphic designer Shigeo Fukudo. In comparing their poster whole kit they both(prenominal) display their own unique style but the form, colors, and in some posters ideas are much alike. In both artists work you see their individual cultures expressed. In Tomaszawski work theres a constant use of rich colors of purples, yellow, reds, and greens. He also uses scandalous to emphasize his designs. Like bold lettering in heavy stroke lines. His use of these heavy stokes resembles to Japanese calligraphy. Many of his posters are in truth impacting but in an animated and lively way that pulls the viewer in. His work presents much softer and curvier stroke than that of Fuduka, but much of their elements are similar. Th e feeling is quite the same with Shigeo Fukuda.Hes also expresses his culture throughout his work. In his more recent work theres a modern Japanese feel to it. Much of his work displays the vivid red color like that from Japans flag. He also fuses heavy strokes of black into most of his work. In some of his older works you see these heavy yet softer strokes but recent work shows harder more uniformed lines. Fukudas work is very simplistic with an animated twist. Throughout his work you see a constant use of bright colors. I think Tomaszawski and Fuduka express a sense of illusion in their work. They do this excellent job of getting their points across in a way thats almost fantasy like. Even in their more unspoilt nationalistic posters both chose to found them in a impacting way that still expressed a bit of animation.Henryk Tomaszawski Manekiny Opera Poster (1985)Shigeo Fukuda In Poland (1995)In both posters you can see the elements are very similar but each artist has a distingu ished way of expressing his style. I found throughout many of their posters they both have found a usage for limbs thats quite interesting. Here is these poster Tomaszawski used more whimsical strokes to draw a females leg. His poster looks very much like other Polish art I have seen. While Fudukas poster is quite similar he chose harder more serious modern style. Here he has intertwined a male and female leg while giving the illusion of a necktie flying.
