He had an outstanding talent for logo-design and commercial graphic art. His poster for the 1927 movie, “Metropolis” is a unique masterpiece. Bottlik was mostly an autodidact, because he had no money to fund his studies. He spent only half year learning at the Iparművészeti Iskola (School of Applied Arts) in Budapest. From 1919 on he started to design posters, mainly for movies and commercial products. Between 1924 and 1965 he was the lead designer of the Hungarian electronics manufacturing company ‘Orion’. Between 1933 and 1935, Bottlik was working in Berlin, designing political and movie posters, and then he became an illustrator for the News Review in London. From the 1940s, he was living in Budapest again. In his first period, Bottlik followed the popular Art Nouveau style of the era, which was typical of Hungarian posters at the time, and their traditional humorous nature was also close to him. He showed great skill designing effective symbols and emblems for companies (for example: SZIT coffee, Orion). Later he was inspired by avant-garde tendencies, mostly by expressionism. The distorted forms of expressionist paintings appear on some of his film posters. Bottlik became influenced by the functional modernism as well for a while, which is visible on some of his poster designs that use basic colours and geometric forms. Bottlik’s poster art really began to flourish when he started designing art deco posters. He used compact and perfect forms, decorative ornaments and interesting lighting effects. Demonic women dominate his movie posters. He has designed a beautiful art deco logo for Orion, which was used for decades. Bottlik was also a brilliant typographer: his metal-like decorative letters fit perfectly for Orion, he used expressive letter forms in posters for American movies, or light art deco scripts for other ones. On his Metropolis poster, a gigantic worker figure carries the skyscrapers of an imaginary city on his back – the poster summarizes the movie in one monumental scene. After 1940s, Bottlik was back to working in the field of poster design. His style shifted from the art deco stlye and utilized more simple and popular elements. After the WW2, he returned to using modern, compact advertising tools that characterized his work during his art deco period. He mostly designed safety posters during the 1960s. His best works (Orion posters, Metropolis, Sirius car batteries, PAX, etc.) rank him among the top art deco poster artists of the world. — About Hungarian Poster Art Hungarian poster art has long been celebrated for its unique and captivating style, making it a significant cultural and artistic movement in the world. From the late 19th century to the present day, Hungarian poster art has left an indelible mark on the global art scene, with its innovative techniques, bold designs, and powerful messages. One of the highlights of Hungarian poster art is its ability to seamlessly blend various artistic styles and influences. The movement drew inspiration from a wide range of sources, including Art Nouveau, Constructivism, and Surrealism, resulting in a diverse and eclectic body of work. Artists such as Mihály Bíró, József Bottlik, and István Irsai pushed the boundaries of traditional poster design, experimenting with typography, color, and composition to create visually striking and thought-provoking pieces. Another notable aspect of Hungarian poster art is its emphasis on storytelling and narrative. Unlike many other countries' posters, which primarily served as advertising tools, Hungarian posters often conveyed a deeper meaning or social commentary. They were not just meant to sell products but also to engage viewers intellectually and emotionally. This storytelling approach allowed Hungarian poster art to transcend its commercial purpose and become a powerful medium for social and political expression. The importance of Hungarian poster art in the world cannot be overstated. During the early 20th century, Hungary was at the forefront of graphic design, and its posters gained international recognition and acclaim. The Budapest School, a group of Hungarian artists, revolutionized the field with their avant-garde approach, influencing poster art movements across Europe and beyond. Their innovative techniques and artistic vision set new standards for poster design, inspiring generations of artists worldwide. Furthermore, Hungarian poster art played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and mobilizing society. In times of political turmoil and social change, posters became a powerful tool for propaganda and activism. During World War II and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, posters were used to rally support, convey messages of resistance, and document historical events. The ability of Hungarian artists to capture the spirit of the times and communicate complex ideas through visual imagery made their posters an integral part of the nation's cultural and political identity. Today, Hungarian poster art continues to thrive, with contemporary artists carrying on the legacy of their predecessors. The Hungarian Poster Museum in Budapest showcases the rich history and evolution of this art form, attracting visitors from around the world. The enduring appeal and influence of Hungarian poster art can be seen in the works of renowned artists like Tibor Helényi and István Orosz, who have successfully merged traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. In conclusion, Hungarian poster art stands as a testament to the country's artistic prowess and cultural heritage. Its unique style, emphasis on storytelling, and ability to provoke thought and emotion have made it an important and influential movement in the world. From its early beginnings to the present day, Hungarian poster art continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists, leaving an indelible mark on the global art scene. — Please note that our company was founded in 1994 and it is internationally trackable.
