Série graphie coleur The underground will take over Lunds konsthall de Sture Johannesson
This artwork by Sture Johannesson is an original from his famous and controversial poster from 1969, titled "The Underground Will Take Over Lunds Konsthall." The piece is a part of Johannesson's iconic contributions to the Swedish art scene during the 1960s, where he used bold and provocative imagery to express his commitment to the underground movement and his criticism of the establishment. The poster advertised an exhibition at Lunds Konsthall in February 1969 and has since become a symbolic piece in both Swedish and international art history.
In this work, we see a large yellow eagle swooping down over a psychedelic background, carrying a bottle and directed towards an image of a child sitting innocently on the ground, surrounded by small flying ducks. The surreal and dreamlike quality of the image reflects the revolutionary and anti-authoritarian ideas that characterized the era. The text "The Underground Will Take Over" and "Lunds Konsthall February 69" reinforces the artwork's message and its connection to the underground movement.
The piece is framed in an elegant oak frame measuring 88 cm x 64 cm, giving it a sophisticated presentation while retaining its rebellious spirit. This poster is not just an artwork but a historical document that captures a period of cultural upheaval and artistic freedom.
