1950s Philip Morris ads by Edwin Georgi

Edwin Georgi's Philips Morris ads ran in the mid-1950s and featured his pixilated palette. They are an explosion of amazing color and effect, aimed mostly at the younger female market.

Wow =D
That first one especially is just lovely.

the second lady's eyebrows are scaring me.

[mschilepepper.livejournal.com]

ALL of the eyebrows except #1 are wonky.

Wow, these are gorgeous! I like how the first lady seems to view the snap-open pack as some kind of earth-shattering revelation.

The only explanation for the third image is a black-light bulb on the dashboard - from the car radio, maybe. (Her teeth are actually glowing.)

The ads are amazingly beautiful, even if the model does look disturbingly like Zac Efron.

Anybody know who the artist was?

8also, if you think these are too pretty to sell cigarettes, you should see Alphonse Mucha's JOB ads http://www.flickr.com/photos/gatochy/257993507/in/photostream/)

Yes, these are really pretty. I especially like the 2nd one. (I don't like cigarettes, but I do like the pics.)

Those are absolutely gorgeous. You're right, they do seem too pretty to be advertising for cigarettes.

[tabaqui]

Oh, very neat!

They're gorgeous; they really seem to glow. The first two look like winter and summer; amazing lighting. He seemed to have a thing about thick dark eyebrows though.

And yeah, the third woman's teeth should be the same colouring as the guy's or the previous woman's.
