About The 100 Best Posters Collection: This poster was originally created by Robert Giusti in 1979 for the School of Visual Arts, in New York. This is an official reissue from 1994 from the collection The 100 best posters from Europe and the United States / 1945-1990.
"In describing the rationale behind this portfolio, Hiromichi Fujita, the President of Toppan Printing Co., explains in the introduction that, "the decision to publish The 100 Best Posters from Europe and the United States 1945-1990 was motivated by our earlier collection of Japanese reproductions published four years ago . . . the first collection was intended as a small contribution to the field of graphic design, which has enjoyed an inseparable relationship with the printing industry for many years now." The selection of posters in this collection were chosen by a panel consisting of Steven Heller, Alain Weill, Milton Glaser and Yusaku Kamekura. All posters chosen (...) were reproduced and were then donated to art museums and related educational institutions in 200 locations around the world. In addition to being forms of expression, these posters, which were created in the diverse social conditions that have prevailed since the end of World War II, truly serve as a testament to the age in which they were produced."

About the poster: Since opening its doors in 1947, the School of Visual Arts has commissioned posters from faculty members. Robert Giusti's surrealistic painting, rendered in acrylic on canvas, is one of many interpretations by artists and designers of SVA's long-standing motto "To Be Good Is Not Enough, When You Dream of Being Great." The message that education can unlock the talent within is presented here with elegance and humor. Giusti's style of magic realism was very popular among advertising and editorial illustrators during the 1970s. (Source: The 100 best posters from Europe and the United States / 1945-1990, p.136)
