Italian Television Commercials
These are stills from three 1958 television commercials produced for AGIP (Italian General Petroleum Association). It’s unclear who the Italian production company was for these spots but they sure look colorful and eye-catching. It’d be especially interesting to see how these designs move. Oh, and a final note: I would have definitely put these in my book if I’d known I had them. Sadly, I just discovered them in my files yesterday. You lucky CARTOON MODERN blog readers can see them now though.





Holy smokes! These are amazing! What great color and styling.

These are great! I love how the colors were used in the fifties, and how large fields of color were left contour-less. I also like the pale tone of the pictures. Was this a fact back then, or is it the tooth of the time?
