Wolner and de Barros are two of the founding fathers of modern Brazilian graphic design, industrial design and abstract art. This poster won a competition to advertise Sao Paulo's 4th centenary. Minimalist yet bold, simple but provacative, it is considered a seminal image of modern poster design in Brazil.
