Grosser Preis der Schweiz, 1936, by Hans Thöni

This dynamic 1936 poster by Swiss artist Hans Thöni promotes the Grosser Preis der Schweiz, a prestigious automobile race held in Bern on 22–23 August. The design showcases a sleek red race car speeding through snowy alpine scenery, with sharp, exaggerated lines capturing the energy and velocity of the event. The stark contrast between the car's vivid red and the cool blues and whites of the mountain backdrop evokes a sense of modernity and motion, while the bold, sans-serif typography reflects the clarity of Swiss graphic design in the 1930s.

The Grosser Preis der Schweiz was a significant Grand Prix motor race during the interwar period, drawing top drivers and cutting-edge vehicles from across Europe. Hans Thöni, known for his clean and modern aesthetic, often worked with transportation-related imagery, making him an ideal choice for this poster. By 1936, European motorsport was gaining widespread popularity, fuelled by advancements in automotive technology and national pride.
