poster art

Decorative wall graphics

Poster art is visual art created for or in the style of posters—typically bold, graphic, and designed to communicate quickly at a distance.

The term covers vintage advertising posters, concert and movie posters, propaganda art, and contemporary works that employ the same aesthetic: strong colors, simplified forms, and striking imagery.

She collects Art Nouveau poster art from the 1890s.
