in detail

Exceptional in his work is the careful application of his drafts on his poster. These "drafts" are generally carefully executed paintings which Casaro created as if they were independent works.
The exhibition shows around 70 posters and draft posters on certain film genres which Casaro worked on. Among these are, for example monumental films (The Last Emperor, 1989), mafia sages (Once Upon a Time in America, 1983) to name just a few. The exhibition provides examples of how a poster is created from the idea through sketches and paintings up to the resulting poster.
