Almir Mavignier is one of Brazil’s first abstract artists and would have been 100 years old in 2025. Since the 1950s, he has achieved international renown as a representative of Concrete Art, in particular Op Art, and as a poster designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lettering – otherwise a central element of poster design – often seems to be missing in his designs. It only becomes visible on closer inspection. Mavignier assumed that once a poster had captivated the viewer, they would be prepared to search for further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mavignier’s posters are advertising and artistic intervention in one. Influenced by the Ulm School, Concrete Art and the international avant-garde, they aim to make the achievements of modernism accessible to a broad public. For Mavignier, design was the answer to the question of the relevance of art – because it has an impact, is visible and connects with the world. He was convinced: \u201cArt is design, it’s as simple as that\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
