Summary:
The Magic of Things explores a former advertising strategy of Swiss product posters in which banal, everyday objects—butter, a sewing machine, or shoes—are presented as desirable objects enticing us to buy. Free from any further contextualization, the objects acquire a sensual presence and magical aura. The product poster had its heyday in Switzerland in the 1940s with designers such as Niklaus Stoecklin, Peter Birkhauser, or Otto Baumberger. As consumer society developed, however, the exclusive focus on the product and the brand name was no longer enough—in advertising, the feelings associated with the object as it related to life grew increasingly important. Today it is in the cultural poster that the magical depiction of things is experiencing a kind of renaissance.

Postcards epitomize the complex history of visual culture. These often nostalgic, inexpensive mementos of commercial culture have also been carriers, even instigators, of colonialist exoticism and political propaganda. They straddle the by now largely obliterated line between 'high' and 'low' art, between an earlier modernist art history and more recent work in visual(...)

L'avènement du numérique bouleverse notre rapport au livre et aux contenus, et fait apparaître de nouveaux acteurs. Pour autant ce territoire situé au carrefour interculturel de l'Europe a aussi connu ses riches heures et de grandes entreprises éditoriales y ont vu le jour, qui ont essaimé largement au-delà de ses frontières. De ce monde en ébullition et souvent méconnu des lecteurs que nous sommes, de ses multiples enjeux aussi, François Vallotton dresse un portrait clair et vivant qui témoigne de la place intime et essentielle que le livre occupe dans la société.

Summary:
Posters circulated in Japan simultaneously with the country's swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War. If the first generation of poster designers was mostly guided by western modernism, searching for a universal and functional way of communication, the following generations from the 1970s onwards increasingly drew on their own pictorial tradition and maintained marked individual approaches. This was not least a reaction to the west's fascination with a poster culture with very different parameters and arguments. Until today, the Japanese poster functions most notably as a highly aesthetic image advertisement and indoor medium, presupposing the conception of the designer as an artist.
