About this poster
Viktor Rutz (Ruzo) was a master of poster design for consumer products. His object posters featured the advertised product or figure as the central focus of his design with the goal of creating the best possible advertising effect, often using colourful light effects. A number of his posters from the 1940s and 1950s for consumer products are available for auction.
