Wednesday’s ad is for Bier, Bière, Birra, from 1972, with the tagline “Santé!,” or “Health!” From the late 1800s until the 1960s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster was made to promote Swiss beer by the Swiss Brewery Association. I’m not sure who the artist who created it was, although I think it’s a photograph rather than a photorealistic painting.
