Description:
The poster promotes seed potatoes. According to the advertisement these potatoes were cheaper, better therefore generated a bigger profit. However, in socialist times most of these promises didn't meet reality. Even though people were aware of the false messages, there was no choice: they could only purchase what was provided by the state. In this sense, advertisements were futile, but the intentintion behind having posters on the street was to create the illusion of a western-like market.
The composition is clear, easy to understand. It bears the characteristics of the socialist-realist stlye that was obligatory in the first half of the 1950s, however, this piece is more artistic that the real socialist-realist ones.
