Ernst Keller #4

Keller, Ernst. "Twice as many free voters as members of all parties decide about party politics (Doppelt so viele freie Wähler als Mitglieder aller Parteien entscheiden unsere Parteipolitik) (Poster for Swiss Landesring political party)". 1946.

I gravitated towards this image for many reasons. The longer you look, the more you see in this image. At a quick glance I see repeated outlines of a person in a circular pattern. As you keep looking you notice how each outline contains two colors, giving depth and shadows the outline, making the image less flat. Again, simple minimal color scheme makes the busy image easier on the eyes. This image utilizes less positive and negative space than in Kellers other works, and again lacks an element of photography but still encompasses many of the of characteristics of the style.
