Kazumasa Nagai, who was born in 1929 in Osaka, Japan, is an multiple
poster award-winner, whose works are exhibited in many museums of modern
art, among others: at MoMa in New York and the National Museum of
Contemporary Art in Tokyo. The artist creates until now. His style
evolved from presenting abstract forms to organic ones, animals and
plants have become a frequent topic. He is true to the traditional
graphical techniques and animals presented on the posters often have
symbolic meaning and refer to the tradition of Japanese art. Kasumasa
Nagai gives his animals an original form, often simplified and composed
into vibrant colors. This is how the posters fulfill its role, conveying
a clear message.
