Pal Molnar C
Circa 1930 original travel poster Budapest Danube river - Parliament Building

Circa 1930

About the Item

Pal Molnar C.'s circa 1930 original travel poster, depicting Budapest and the majestic Danube River, stands as a captivating testament to the allure of the Hungarian capital. Known for his distinctive style influenced by French Art Deco and modern trends like Cubism, Molnar C. crafted a visual masterpiece that encapsulates the beauty and grandeur of Budapest's iconic landmarks. Born as Pal Molnar C., the artist, often referred to as MCP, began his artistic journey with studies in Budapest before immersing himself in the vibrant art scenes of Switzerland and Paris. Influenced by contemporary art movements, his illustrations and paintings reflected the dynamic energy of urban life, particularly focusing on the bourgeoisie. As a member of the Rome School, Molnar C. honed his craft, drawing inspiration from the art of the Trecento. His transition into poster design during the 1930s marked a significant chapter in his career. Commissioned to create travel and event posters, Molnar C. quickly made a name for himself with his picturesque Art Deco compositions. The Budapest Danube River poster epitomizes Molnar C.'s ability to capture the essence of a destination. Featuring the iconic Parliament Building, Margit Bridge, and the Statue of St. Gellert, the artwork transports viewers to the heart of Budapest's cultural and architectural splendor. Molnar C.'s innovative use of perspective, characterized by a strong top view, allows for the depiction of monumental landscapes on the poster, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the city's breathtaking scenery. His attention to detail and mastery of composition create a sense of dynamism and depth, enhancing the poster's visual impact. Tourism - Religion - Hungary Printed by Klosz in Budapest
