Japanese Dance
Designer: Ikko Tanaka
Member of: Japan

This is one of a set of posters by 12 Japanese designers for performances of various classical arts by a visiting Japanese troupe at UCLA. For the theme of Nihon Buyo (classical dance), Tanaka has filled the space with the head of a woman wearing a traditional Japanese hairstyle. The entire area is divided into 12 equal parts each set with different shapes * squares, triangles, a circle * in contrasting blocks of primary colors * red, green, purple, black, etc. The only gradations of color are found in the shadings of pale pink in the area of the woman's face. The clean design with its simple, economical shapes and colors gives a truly contemporary expression to the traditional Japanese concept of beauty.
(from "Best 100 Japanese Posters, 1945-89" Kodansha, 1991)
