Abstract
Based on archival and periodical sources, as well as unpublished works (posters, sketches, postcards), the article analyzes, contextualizes and evaluates the hitherto insufficiently researched work of the painter, graphic designer and illustrator of Austrian origin Kornel Becić (Cornel Becić von Rustenberg, 1910–1999), who was active in Zagreb during the 1930s, collaborated intensively with a number of clients from the spheres of culture and business (the Zagreb Fair, the St. Kugli Bookshop, etc.), and left his mark on the visual culture of that time.
