JMW Chrzanoska Art Expo 1980 Exhibition Poster

This is a framed promotional art exhibition poster created for Art Expo 1980, featuring the artwork of artist JMW Chrzanoska. The image depicts a woman in a stylized, romanticized historical dress riding a bicycle, characterized by a dreamy, soft-focus aesthetic consistent with late 1970s and early 1980s illustrative styles. The color palette is dominated by muted blues, grays, and dark greens, with a vertical brown banner on the left containing the text 'ART EXPO 1980' in a decorative, Art Nouveau-influenced serif font. The artist's name, 'JMW CHRZANOSKA', is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster. The piece is housed in a contemporary thin metallic gold-tone frame with visible mitered corners. The overall size appears to be approximately 24 by 36 inches, a standard size for mass-produced exhibition posters of that era. Physically, the poster appears to be in good condition with no visible foxing, tearing, or significant fading. The frame shows minor light reflections but appears intact with no major scuffs or dents. The paper stock seems to be a medium-weight glossy poster paper typical of commercial printing for galleries and expos in the late 20th century.
