This poster is bright yellow with bold black and rust-colored text. The words "internationale hygiene-ausstellung" are stacked in uneven, chunky letters. Below, "dresden 1930" stands out in a different brown shade. The text looks hand-painted, with rough edges and uneven spacing. The words mean "International Hygiene Exhibition," which was a big fair in Dresden. The rough, uneven letters give it a raw, homemade feel. Look up gouache to see how this matte, opaque paint works.
