For the summer running of the 10th Maccabiah Games -- Israel's Olympics -- Reisinger creates another dynamic image: a stylized red running figure superimposed on the country's symbolic Star of David in blue. Reisinger once again employs the use of elongated triangular elements, this time to the end of evoking the speed and excitement of the athletic competition.

Dan Reisinger is Israel's top graphic artist. He established his own design studio in Tel Aviv in 1961 and began a prolific career as a poster artist and painter. In step with his country's dynamic development, Reisinger's design activities have expanded to include corporate entities, packaging, sign systems, supergraphics, exhibition and environmental design.

Elson's photograph of the Shubert Theater at night captures all the glitter of The Great White Way -- a perfect visual equivalent for the quintessential theatrical piece about the the gypsies who make up the heart and soul of New York's fabled musical stage.

Keiser's 20-odd posters for an annual Hamburg festival devoted to American folk blues always work a compelling variation of a well-worn acoustic guitar. Here, the instrument seems to be playing itself with the equally well-worn hands of a black woman. Names of featured acts are superimposed on the guitar image in type like so many familiar scratches.

The precocious Buffet had made his name as a leading French figurative painter by his early 20s. His landscapes and portraits -- marked by sad greys, spiky forms and obtrusively angular signature -- are icons of the 1950s and 60s. Widely exhibited, his paintings are in the permanent collections of London's Tate Gallery and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. This foray into graphic art was occasioned by the appearance of Buffet's wife Annabel, a popular French singer, at the Olympia music hall. The poster was printed by noted Parisian lithographer Mourlot.
