Lot Essay

Fanfare was a 1958 Dutch comedy film directed by Bert Haanstra, entering the Cannes Film Festival in 1959. Jan Van Keulen's poster designs for the film show a modernist simplicity and abstraction of forms. A tuba can be seen, comprised of brightly coloured geometric shapes arranged in a naïve style suggesting the light-hearted comedy theme of the film. Typographics are consistent with the image in their colouring, minimalist sanserif form, and child-like arrangement in the frame.
