All great people have committed a huge number of notable deeds, had a very extraordinary, contradictory and multifaceted life. But it turns out all of these complex stories can be told with a very simple pictogramshow it is done by milanese creative studio H-57.
Minimalism is in vogue now! Especially in illustrations! Let us recall at least pixel posters from Michael Myers, humorous minimalism from Tang Yau Hoong, posters for fairy tales from Christian Jackson or minimalist posters for Russian films from Andrey Gubin.
And the Milanese studio H-57 created a series of posters in which they retell well-known complex stories in a very simple and visual way. For this, the guys from the said studio used standard pictograms, giving them a special meaning and sequence.
Moreover, in order to fully understand the meaning of what is depicted, you need to be at least a little aware of what exactly these icons show. And better, a lot! After all, their creators manage to very clearly and simply show complex things and historical processes.
For example, in the image dedicated to the life of the Queen of France Marie Antoinette, it tells about her liberated sex life, and about the passion for arranging chic balls, and even about the legendary episode when, in response to the statements of the revolutionary crowd about the lack of bread, she said: “Let eating cakes!"
The poster dedicated to Bruce Lee plays up both his film career and his sports career, as well as another legendary story that Bruce died as a result of a special fatal blow, being punished for daring to teach kung fu to non-Chinese!
These posters from H-57 show both the transformation of Hitler from an artist into a dictator, and the story of Jesus Christ walking on water, feeding thousands of people with three loaves, and then crucified, and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker who turned into Darth Vader.
But the life of Michael Jackson, who was born black and who died white, is shown more succinctly and most clearly.
