Poster #3- Dinosaur or Animal?

This poster is located in the underground walkway that connects the train platforms in Sion. It is placed on the wall of the station, surrounded by other posters, as you walk out of the tunnel to the outside.
In this poster you can see influences of photomontage. It is not black and white, but it only uses two colors (black and tan).
It is advertising an event for and exhibit of Japanese art displayed in Lausanne. It shows a strange animal looking thing in a dark black, surrounded by a plain, simple tan background.
I am not sure how the imagery was produced, but it looks like a painting with influences of printmaking.
From 55 feet away, the poster doesn't particularly stand out from wall because of it's nuetral colors. From 5 feet away, the poster catches your eye because of its non distracting design. The viewer's eye can rest in one area and then collect information about the exhibit from the smaller text. From 5 inches, you can gain the same information.
The strange animal attracted me to the poster. I still don't know if it's a dinosaur, bird, or animal. I like the simple design and that the artist didn't add anything to make it chaotic or distracting. I believe it is a successful poster once you take the time to notice it, but it doesn't stand out from the others because of it's neutral colors and location.
