MAX HUBER (1919-1992)

1 GRAN PREMIO / BERGAMO FILM FESTIVAL. 1958.


19x27 inches, 48 1/4x68 1/2 cm. Industrie Grafiche Cattaneo, Bergamo.
Condition A-: small tear at upper left edge; minor creases at edges and along vertical fold. Printed on thin paper.

Born in Zürich, Huber moved to Milan in the 1930s where he worked for Studio Boggeri. He returned to Switzerland briefly before settling again in Italy in 1946. He had a strong influence on Italian graphic design, mixing Constructivist principles with bold colors. His posters for La Rinascente, as well as those done for the Italian Automobile Club and Olivetti, can be considered masterpieces of a well-balanced, wild imagination.
