Kieser essentially dedicated his entire career to posters promoting jazz and blues concerts. He has
designed hundreds of posters, the most memorable of which are images of three-dimensional tableaux
that he constructed using diverse objects that caught his inspirational attention. He was also a major
proponent of graphic découpage, in which he brought various images together to help form a cohesive
message. The guitar at the center of the image is covered with “American” objects and photographs.
He would continue to use the guitar in his subsequent posters for the event (in each case adorned
differently), so much so that it became an immediately recognizable logo. Jazz, Pop, Rock p. 43,
Fotoplakate p. 182 (var).
