Opening this chapter are examples of design of the 20th century, posters to announce a public event like a theatre play, a world fair, or a festival. In comparison to the art works of the previous chapter, these designs are more strongly expressive and more simple and clear in their message. Yet, they also show a wide variety of styles and rethorics to attract the attention of the audience. Both the faces and the mouth are examples of using body parts in contemporary art. The page of the comic book version of City of Glass, illustrates how the 'logic' of a story can be visualised. As an exercise, try to annoyaye the sequence of frames from the City of Glass can be described using the annotation logic you learned in this chapter. The modern art examples should interesting by themselves.
