About the Item
This original poster, designed in 1987 by renowned graphic designer Seymour Chwast, was created for LaGuardia Community College (CUNY) as part of its “College for Children” initiative. Produced by the legendary Push Pin Group, the poster reflects Chwast’s signature style—playful, expressive, and deeply rooted in visual storytelling.
This work is not only a rare example of socially engaged design but also holds institutional importance, as it is part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. With its bold colors, whimsical figures, and distinctive typography, the poster exemplifies the spirit of accessible education and community outreach, conveyed through the lens of postmodern graphic design.
A brilliant representation of Chwast’s contribution to American visual culture, this piece is highly collectible for fans of design history, MoMA-related works, and 1980s graphic arts.

Seymour Chwast
Seymour Chwast's posters are in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide. Seymour Chwast"s art helped to propel a revolution in American illustration during the early 1960"s from sentimental realism to comic expressionism. His work for magazines, posters, advertisements, and children"s books influenced at least two generations of illustrators and designers in America and abroad to explore a broad range of stylistic and conceptual methods, as well as to wed illustration with design. In addition to his unique style and innovative techniques, Chwast contributed a delightfully absurdist sense of wit and humor to twentieth century applied art. Although rooted in the decorative traditions of the nascent years of commercial art—notably Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco—his work is not a synthesis of the past and present, but an invention of the most original kind.
