The Taming of the Shrew, 1983, by Boris Bućan
This monumental six-panel silkscreen poster by Croatian artist Boris Bućan was created in 1983 for the Croatian National Theatre's production of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew in Split. The design features three riders in traditional fox-hunting attire, accompanied by a trio of hounds, set against a vibrant backdrop of bold patterns and colors. Bućan's intricate use of geometric motifs and his innovative approach to composition reflect the postmodernist aesthetics of the time.
Bućan's work is renowned for its fusion of art-historical references with contemporary design. In this piece, the decorative patterns are reminiscent of Tunisian kilims, similar to those that inspired artists like Henri Matisse. The complex framing and patterning also echo the traditions of Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession, particularly the work of designers like Koloman Moser.
We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy. Our restoration process is detailed and precise but, because this artwork was never created digitally and no original digital file exists, some slight imperfections may remain when viewed up close, including some slightly blurred edges. To preserve its quality, we only offer it in sizes up to A2. Please do check the final product photo carefully and ensure you're happy before purchasing.
