About this work

This image shows a black-and-white poster with a large butterfly at the center. The butterfly’s wings are detailed with curved lines, and its body is small with thin legs. In the background, two tiny figures dressed like insects—one with wings, one with antennae—stand on the ground. The words "INSECT FROLIC" are written in bold letters above the butterfly. The poster advertises a "Costume Ball" at Webster Hall on February 9th. The simple, bold lines and playful theme suggest it was made for fun, not serious art. If you like this style, look up The Museum of Modern Art for more posters like it.
