Period

"Poster Show...Neiman Marcus, Dallas" is a 1967 poster designed by artist Victor Moscoso. Produced using printing ink as a colour offset lithograph, the poster measures 713 mm in height by 564 mm in width and was printed in Dallas, United States.
Created in a Psychedelic style, the poster is characterized by an abstract composition based on circles and lines that suggest cosmic forms, set against a dark background. The foreground features billowing, leaf-like shapes rendered in vibrant pink and reddish tones, which impart an organic feel. Rather than foregrounding the text, the psychedelic colours absorb the lettering into the overall design, employing the 'second look' principle of poster design where the initial arresting visual does not immediately reveal its promotional function.
