DXpo  "NON-FIGURATIVE"


These jokers do not show a jester, clown or any other kind of object, just a non-figurative design. We'll start with some black&whites.......

    
Both from the USA, 1930's or 40's.

     
3 from decks by published for Singapore Airlines, 1990's.

The more basic the design is the more important is the use of colours. An artist grows up with colours, so it's not a surprise that most of the jokers here below come from decks that were designed by artists.
