Robert Mangold is a Contemporary American Artist. In 1997, Michael Kimmelman stated Mangold paintings "are more complicated to describe than they seem, which is partly what's good about them: the way they invite intense scrutiny, which, in the nature of good art, is its own reward" in the New York Times.

Mangold's works are comprised often of simple elements which are put together through complex means. It challenges the typical connotations of what a painting is or could be, and his works often appear as objects rather than images. Elements refer often to architectural elements or have the feeling of an architect's hands. I wanted to integrate these elements into this poster to show his work while not imitating it. Many colors used in his original paintings were also used to emphasize and create "Mangold Moments."
