Description:
A great place to shop in autumn as well - State Department Store is a 1966 vintage Hungarian Mid-century modern advertising poster designed by Margit Sandor.
Shopping is easy in autumn as well in the State Department Store. Pure and elegant design in order to promote men’s fashion.
The poster bears the typical characteristics of the style of its author, Margit Sandor. She studied from the greatest masters of Hungarian poster art, for example Gyorgy Konecsni. Her style was very unique and this piece is an example for Sandor's designs where she applied a strong contrast, what she often did. As for the typography, generally she either used calligraphic typefaces or simple, constructivist ones. On this poster we can see an example for the latter.
