This image shows a vintage-style postcard that includes text, graphical elements, and space for writing and addressing the postcard. On the left side, it says "THE POSTMAN'S CHOICE" followed by "LE CHOIX DU FACTEUR," which is the French translation of The Postman's Choice. Below this text, it reads "BY BEN 1965," which likely indicates the artist or designer of the postcard and the year of creation or concept. On the right side, there's a bold text "FLUX POST CARD" with a stylized design where "FLUX" is above "POST" which is above "CARD." The text appears in varying font sizes to fit within the shape of a square, suggesting the influence of the Fluxus art movement, which was known for its experimental and non-traditional approach to art. Below the "FLUX POST CARD" text, there is a black outline of a square, potentially for a stamp or decoration, and next to it, three horizontal lines for writing an address. The background of the postcard appears to be an off-white or cream color with slightly darker edges, giving it a vintage look. At the bottom right corner, there is a copyright symbol followed by "1967 BY FLUXUS" which hints that the card might have been produced or distributed in 1967 by the collective known as Fluxus. The design of the card embodies elements of minimalism and conceptual art, characteristic of the Fluxus movement, which often challenged traditional boundaries of art and sought to include everyday life objects and activities into the realm of the art world.
