Why does an artist make a poster?
1 Answer
An artist may make a poster for a variety of reasons. Generally, posters are inexpensive to make, allowing them to be mass-produced and widely distributed. As a result, poster art can be an effective way for an artist to spread a message or communicate with a large audience. Posters can also advertise an event, exhibition or product. Finally, some artists may create posters of their paintings and prints to allow more people to purchase and enjoy their work. Shop a diverse assortment of art posters on 1stDibs.
