This original 1978 concert poster was designed by the acclaimed graphic artist Günther Kieser for the "Jazz in the Garden" series at the Nationalgalerie Berlin. The artwork features one of Kieser's signature "imaginary heads," a surreal face constructed entirely from vibrant leaves, flowers, and organic elements set against a pebbled background. The design visually harmonizes the organic growth of nature with the improvisational spirit of jazz.
