“Elements of the byzantine iconography (colours, shapes,
lack of perspective) were eclectically used”
Illustration for a poster based in the french translation of Kavafy’s poem
“Manuel Komnenos”. The poem describes the “Dreary September day” that
“Emperor Manuel Komninos / felt his death was near…”
A contemporary approach to a theme originally taken from the Byzantine history
through the recreational gaze of a 20th century poet.
Elements of the byzantine iconography (colours, shapes, lack of perspective)
were eclectically used for the needs of this poster,
made for the celebration of the birthday day of Kavafy.
