Realism - Hyperrealism
From the 1940s onwards, designers increasingly used a hyperrealistic style in particular for object posters. Carefully placed shadows and highlights make the detailed renderings of objects seem almost tangible. Often they seem to float on a monochromatic background and possess an almost magical appeal. Frequently designed by artists of the Basel school such as Niklaus Stoecklin, Fritz Bühler or Peter Birkhäuser, these posters have become rare and are highly appreciated and sought-after by collectors across the globe.
