Advertisements for Radio Italiano designed by Erberto Carboni Scanned from Publimondial 29, 1950
  • Design Archive Feature, Members Only Content

Erberto Carboni and his work for Radio Italiana, 1940s and 1950s

What has been said about the styling of advertisements goes for the field of publicity for chemical and pharmaceutical products as well. Whether it is a soporific, an analgetic or a protein remedy for defects of malnutrition - nearly without a single word, the efficiency of the product in question is symbolically characterized in the composition and the choice of colours equally to the point, on the covers of these prospectuses. Suppositions for such achievements are the highest level and a freedom of artistic means which our businessmen, when employing commercial artists, are only too seldom ready to grant.
