From Helenyi, Tibor's estate. 1981. A0 Two Sheet (cca. 119 x 84 cm). One impressive piece from Tibor Helenyi's famous Hungarian Star Wars poster series. The painted compositions reflect the movie's world, however they do not follow strictly the motives of the movies. (Helenyi saw the films, but while working he could only rely on his memories, so his works always catch the atmosphere of the movies, but he created new, original visions too.) The painted compositions are very expressive and surreal, reflecting the popular visual world of the 1980's - the world of comics, science fictions etc. The poster is an original first release.
