When one speaks of retro art, images of art styles derived from advertising and propaganda posters from 1930s to 1960s usually flood the mind. The simple graphics made from oil paints reflect the less advanced technology of that time. This period is also a time of significant turbulence in our modern history, when major events such as the rise of communism and World Wars were taking ground. It is then not surprising that many posters serve as propaganda tools for the ruling governments. These propaganda images eventually contributed to the development of different retro art styles.

In the futuristic days of 2009 somewhere out there is an artist that still stuck in retro, and this simple old style is what gives him the edge over most of us. Straight from Brazil, Matheus Lopes Castro aka mathiole is one of the most creative illustrators out there and his works express so many emotions that it's impossible not to get the message.

Stella Artois have gone retro with this ad campaign (Aug 2009) focusing on recycling. Simple, focused and great use of the "less is more" when creating a very apt layout.
