The latest promotional posters for the upcoming Hunger Games : Mockingjay film showcases the proletarian from the various work districts in the fictional world of Panem.

The presentation and style of the posters seem to emulate the classic art work of American illustrators Norman Rockwell (above) and J.C Leyendecker (below), mirroring the pursuit of an idealized, perfect society represented by exemplary citizens.

It’s always refreshing and exciting to see the art work of these “old masters” be reinvigorated and take on a new lease of life in contemporary media be it in films, advertising or design.

You can explore more illustrations by Norman Rockwell in his art book 332 Magazine Covers and J.C Leyendecker.
