Paso Doble takes its name from the fast, dramatic Spanish dance, and something of that rhythm carries through the sweeping lines of the bird's wings. Gordon House, who went on to design Academy posters throughout the 1980s and 90s, framed Jones' image with classic serif typography, giving the whole poster the feel of a window onto the artwork itself. Jones is one of the defining figures of British Pop Art, with work held in the Tate and MoMA, and copies of the original Paso Doble screenprint were sold alongside this poster during the exhibition itself, a separate, rarer object to the poster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower text still carries the exhibition's Sunday morning concession times for under 18s, a small period detail that places it firmly as a genuine piece of the show rather than a later reprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Summer Exhibition ran from 14 May to 28 August 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet in a slimline black timber frame with gallery glass.
