1960's

In 1963 the Swiss National Expo on Peace, to be attended in Lausanne in 1964, announced a poster competition for the event to the graphic designers of Europe. Seven posters would be chosen from hundreds of entries. To the dismay of nearly every competitor, Hans Falk's series of 7 spectacular, abstract posters was chosen to represent the conference, each with a message about the conference. These non figurative, non graphic, totally modern, abstract images were an audacious attempt to rid the poster of it's advertising intent. This series of 7 posters also represented a turning point in Falk's artistic career and for all practical purposes, were the last posters he produced.
