Hauksbee Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 It's rare that a promo piece can make a product even more exciting by not showing it, but I think this poster for Rumpler Aircraft succeeds beautifully. When I first saw it, I wanted to look up. . Quote
+Olham Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Oh yes, Hauksbee, that is a poster by Ludwig Hohlwein, München, as I see from the signature. He was the leading German graphic artist for posters of his time. You should google for his pictures and prints. Here is a poster for DOORNKAAT, a schnaps which was produced in my hometown Norden. Hohlwein came from the branch of lithography, and he knew the art of showing the essence in a print with only 3 - 4 colours. Here is a series about racing sports by him, called "Turf": http://www.saxonia.c...erie/009237.htm . Edited July 21, 2012 by Olham Quote
+Olham Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Here is another Hohlwein poster for Oberursel engines: Quote
Hauksbee Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 ...and he knew the art of showing the essence in a print with only 3 - 4 colours. He certainly did. And he would use unusual colors to do it. A most remarkable color sense. I've admired his work for years. Quote
+Olham Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Yep, another well-known poster - but no Hohlwein. The face is not at all as good as Hohlwein would have drawn it. Quote
