119. item
Unknown: Mydlo Soap poster, 1928
95 x 63 cm. Very good, restored, backed on thick paper.

The poster was printed in Kassa in 1928 and it advertises a factory manufacturing cosmetics. The name of the factory - „Pocsátko” (Poćatko) and the year of its foundation (1788) are both visible on the poster.
The poster is a modernist composition and is uniquely beautiful. In the centre there is a huge machine made of red metal, below it the promoted products appear in wooden boxes and in the background, there is the silhouette of the factory. The everyday objects and motifs appear in a plain and simple composition where the rhythm is created by the contrast between the statuesque shiny metallic surfaces and the abstract plain shapes. The modern grotesque and geometric typeface of the text matches the composition.
(Anikó Katona)
