About the Item
This striking 1969 original poster was created for the Brno Zoo in former Czechoslovakia, blending bold graphic design with an instantly recognizable subject. Dominated by the vivid image of a scarlet macaw, the poster captures the viewer’s attention with its vibrant red, blue, and green tones, all set against a stark beige background. The composition cleverly integrates the word “ZOO” in large black letters, using the circular "O" as a natural perch for the parrot, creating a playful and visually dynamic layout.
Designed during a period of strong visual experimentation in Eastern Europe, this poster exemplifies the sharp, clean aesthetic typical of late 1960s Czechoslovak design. Typography and image merge seamlessly, producing a piece that is both functional and artistic. The minimalist color palette and confident lines give it a modernist appeal, making it not only an advertisement for the zoo, but a lasting example of mid-century European poster art.
Celebrating one of the country's major zoological institutions, this piece reflects the era’s dedication to making public information beautiful, accessible, and memorable. A timeless example of graphic simplicity used to maximum effect.
