Conti's film is the first to capture the ambiance of the early 20th century during the machine age when intrepid advertising artists were pushing boundaries of style and content. The film focuses on three masters: Lucian Bernhard (Berlin), Ludwig Hohlwein (Munich) and Julius Klinger (Vienna). Combining interviews with experts, original work and materials from the era, the film evokes a sense of being in the hotbed of design between the World Wars, when graphic artists were the celebrities of this introduction to the modern (and moderne) world.
