This is a striking original exhibition poster for "Frasconi: Recent Work," held at the Terry Dintenfass Gallery in New York City from May 13 to June 8, 1963. The poster features a powerful, high-contrast woodcut-style portrait characteristic of Antonio Frasconi’s renowned graphic technique. The central image depicts a somber, expressive face rendered with heavy textures and sharp, angular lines, set against a jagged black background.

The typography is equally bold, with "FRASCONI" printed in a vibrant, stylized orange at the bottom left, juxtaposed with "recent work" in a fluid, handwritten orange script to the right. The gallery's name and address (18 East 67th St. N.Y.C.) are printed in a clean, hand-lettered black font along the top and side margins. As a master of the woodcut medium, Frasconi's work in this poster captures the social realism and raw emotionality that defined his mid-century career.
