The artwork, titled “Poster for a Noh Play,” was created by Tadanori Yokoo in 1969. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of posters.
In the artwork, the central visual elements are distinct and vivid. At the bottom of the piece, a traditional Noh mask is prominently displayed, exhibiting a white face with striking red and black features. Above the mask, there are abstract floral designs rendered in bold red, blue, white, and yellow colors. The background transitions from a deep blue at the bottom to a golden-brown hue in the midsection, accented by black at the top. The upper section contains intricate Japanese characters alongside a circular emblem featuring stripes of yellow and red. The overall composition combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern Pop Art sensibilities, creating a visually compelling and culturally rich poster.
