    MAFprint

    In George Smits’ own words from 1981: “The second part of myself was devoted to MAFprint".  Here we present a number of works from this idiosyncratic designer, silkscreen printer and comic book maker, predominantly from the period 1968-1975 and brought together under the motto: "Yesterday bonkers, today amazing, tomorrow banal."

    Inspired by Pop Art, George Smits founds MAFprint (Mad Artist Foundation) in 1968: a "one-man association" to promote affordable art forms for a broad public: posters, comics, events with an experimental mobile silkscreen studio."

    In 1969 MAFprint joins forces with ERCOLA – Experimental Research Center of Liberal Arts – and in the early 1970s it grow into an important hub of Antwerp's artistic milieu.
