Eduard Terrazas: 5 of the Most Memorable Artist-Designed Olympics Posters

Co-designed by Mexican artist and architect Eduardo Terrazas and American designer Lance Wyman, the minimalist, monochromatic poster for Mexico 1968 was clearly influenced by Op art, a movement that was popular at the time. This contemporary look was also a nod to the country’s traditional Huichol “tablas” textiles that typically feature patterns made from radiating lines of thread.  Now aged 88, Terrazas is having a moment, with one of his geometric abstractions selected for the “Foreigners Everywhere” main exhibition at this year’s Venice Biennale and a new solo show “Encounters,”  which just opened at Timothy Taylor gallery in London.
