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.

Summary:
Le 15 mai 1968, un atelier d'affiches est créé au sein de l'École supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Quelques jours plus tard, c'est au tour des occupants de l'école des Arts décoratifs de fonder le leur. Pendant plus d'un mois, des assemblées générales réunissent quotidiennement artistes, étudiants et travailleurs pour discuter des thèmes et des slogans des affiches qui sont produites sans interruption et diffusées bientôt dans la France entière. À travers la présentation chronologique de quelque deux cents créations – qui montre à quel point celles-ci ont su traduire les événements au jour le jour – et les témoignages de nombreux acteurs de l'époque, ce livre retrace l'aventure des ateliers, illustrée de rares photos sur leur fonctionnement, dont celles de Marc Riboud.

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(...)
