“In the poster “A Red Gift to a White Gentleman” the color is perfectly resolved, so to speak, the color composition. The artist uses only three colors: red, black and white. Here the white color no longer looks like an unpainted field of paper. Color helps Moore highlight the main thing, contrast forces, emphasize the dynamism of the sheet.” Koretsky V. Notes from a poster artist. M., 1958.
