About the Item

Troxler, Niklaus. A tribute to the music of Thelonios Munk, Willisau 1986. Poster. P 166. Offset lithograph. 50 3/8 x 35 5/8" Niklaus Troxler's jazz poster, 'A Tribute to the Music of Thelonious Monk' elegantly combines typography and color to create a portrait of the great jazz pianist and his music. The typography outlines the recognizable silhouette of Monk's head in text of blue, red, and yellow, the colors of of his home state North Carolina. The rhythm that is created by the changing color of the words as they pulse around the profile evokes the tempo of his playing, while the deep blue background suggests the roots of his music. Niklaus Troxler is an internationally renowned Swiss graphic designer who specializes in poster design, corporate design, illustration and architectural murals. Since 1975, Troxler has organized the Willisau Jazz Festival, an international event that features the best in contemporary jazz. He also produces the festival posters which are all the exactly the same size due to Swiss bill posting restrictions. Silkscreen and lithographic prints are the main techniques that Troxler uses to communicate both figurative and abstract ideas created from paper cut-outs, collage, stencils and brush and line drawings.
