Thursday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from the 1950s. Miller did a series of these ads with sparse, minimalist decoration. In this one, it looks like the wall at the back was designed by Piet Mondrian, the Dutch modern artist. It sure looks like it’s going to be a great party, especially once someone picks up that acoustic guitar leaning against the staircase, next to some floor pillows, and starts jamming.
They look kinda square to me….probably going to be one of those “Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore” nights.
These ads always reminded me of my father and mother…..and that’s a good thing.
It’s party time, for God’s sake! Why’s the couple so grossly overdressed?
Oops! – forgot that the setting’s not in the unpretentious CA I grew up in! 🙂
