Since the opening of Tivoli in Copenhagen in 1843, the world-famous amusement garden's adventurous universe has been depicted on posters a tradition that today is continued by some of the best Danish artists. The Tivoli posters give a unique insight into the development of poster art from the mid-1800s to the present. Knud Oddes (b. 1955) poster from 1994 builds on the traditional Harlekin motif, which several of Tivoli's poster artists have used over time. Here Harlekin has got the company of Columbine, both portrayed in a mixture of classic and contemporary idiom. Odde's poster highlights the animal and demonic of the traditional Harlequin figure, which in many of the other Harlequin posters from Tivoli is shaded in favor of a cheerful and light expression.
