Tonhalle Zurich Maskenball
The simplified line, bold form, and flat colors of this captivating design for Zurich's midwinter masked ball at the Concert Hall shows an artist's admiration for the Beggarstaffs.The simplified line, bold form, and flat colors of this captivating design for Zurich's midwinter masked ball at the Concert Hall shows an artist's admiration for the Beggarstaffs. Nearly the whole design is dropped out, but the seductive pose combines with small, effective flashes of flesh and color to create an indelible impression. The design was so effective, in fact, that this was the second consecutive year it was employed to attract winter revelers. An excellent slice of graphic seduction from Righini, who also executed another design for the gala four years prior.
