Hauksbee 103 Report post 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. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 163 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hauksbee 103 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 163 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
