Spirits
by Marcello Nizzoli
Cordial Campari
A cozy still life, the bottle and the glass glowing warmly against subdued tones, creates a tempting invitation to sensually indulge in the name of Campari. There is something deliberately precarious about the arrangement and perspective that creates just enough tension to further hold our attention. All of Nizzoli's posters are first-rate; from 1938 on he worked at Olivetti, and in 1968 a book of his designs--largely for that firm--was published.
