EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant offset lithograph from 1961 captures the essence of a post-work Guinness session in the 1960s. Measuring at an impressive 152x100 cm, this print showcases a scene that is both nostalgic and timeless. The image depicts a group of men enjoying their leisure time outside, with their backs turned towards us. They stand on a bustling street, surrounded by communication equipment and media advertisements. The advertisement for Guinness takes center stage, as it cleverly portrays the effort and balance required to reach for that perfect pint. The humorous text adds to the lighthearted atmosphere of the scene, while the red color scheme catches our attention. This print not only serves as an advertisement but also reflects societal norms of its time - "men only" recreation was common during this era. It offers us a glimpse into how people used to unwind after work in an outdoor setting. The lithography technique employed in this artwork brings out vivid colors and intricate details, making it visually appealing. The full-length view from behind allows us to observe each character's posture and gestures as they engage in conversation or simply enjoy their drinks. Overall, this offset lithograph encapsulates the spirit of leisurely enjoyment associated with Guinness during late twentieth-century Britain. It invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance within popular culture.
