Monza. 12 gran premio della Lotteria di Monza
Max Huber
Italian, born Switzerland. 1919–1992
1970
An offset-lithograph poster by Max Huber promoting the 12th Monza Grand Prix that uses bold diagonal color bands and a blurred, oversized 'Monza' to evoke speed and excitement.
Your eye is swept along slanted stripes of red, blue, yellow and green across a silvery field while a soft, shadowy 'Monza' floats beneath crisp white event lettering, producing a palpable sense of motion and light.
The work exemplifies Huber’s blend of Swiss typographic precision with expressive color and photographic blur, advancing a visual language that showed how graphic design could communicate movement and atmosphere in commercial posters.
