Color Blocks- Team Kryptonite



Color-blocking was a style that acquired a life of its own in the United States in the 1930s.  Poster artist all over the world kept trying to bring back the "Japonisme" trend which was a form of art in Japan.


This piece of art was created by Toulouse-Lautrec and is one of the better pieces showing the technique of color-blocking that is called the ukiyo-e printing technique in Japan from the seventeenth century onward.


This piece of art was created by Swiss art director Stephan Bundi in 2007.  He says it illustrates how powerful the artwork is with a solid orange background, with the sharp white cut out of a mans head which realistic fingers that are representing horns.
