Poster Hamish Grimes, 1972

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Hamish Grimes’s typographical poster “lets the sunshine in”: a symbol of peace and love as the Vietnam War raged on. “Montreux Jazz” is written in a distinctively seventies typographic style as the top half of a glowing vinyl sun. With the subsequent addition of its reflection, this curved text would go on to become the Festival’s first logo.
