Plakatstil in the 20th Century: Modern Poster Design from Germany · Berna Motor Car

Berna Motor Car

Title (Dublin Core): Berna Motor Car
Description (Dublin Core): This allegorical advertisement clearly illustrates the load-carrying capacity of Berna trucks. The enormous figure seems to have been taken from the well-known poster advertising the inauguration of the Bernese Pass three years earlier. The tunnel, which connected Switzerland's north to Italy through Berne, was proof of the city's skill in heavy construction. It's impossible not to be captivated to the poster because of its simplicity and lovely soft Fauvist color harmonies.
