Between 1930 and 1960, Martin Peikert (1901 – 1975), a native of Zug, designed countless posters that were as charming as atmospheric, especially for holiday destinations – making him one of the most popular Swiss commercial artists in the field of tourism. His designs convey an immense lightness and an irrepressible joie de vivre without being repetitive, even if he frequently resorted to motifs featuring children or young ladies in his designs. Accordingly, Peikert’s posters are extremely popular.
