International Exhibition for Palestine poster

Description:
Long interested in applying design to political causes, al-Azzawi has stated that “a good poster is one of the nearest visual things to being both intuitively poetic and logically articulate.” He developed this poster design to advertise a 1978 international exhibition of artists in support of the Palestinian liberation cause, held at the Arabic University of Beirut.
