About the Item

Paul Schuitema - 1879-1973 Tentoonstelling/Bki 1931 23 ½ x 18”. Unlined.Good condition with the exception of a small minor tear top middle poster.Good color. Rare. A pioneer in modernistic graphic design, Schuitema also worked as a photographer, filmmaker and furniture designer. After WW1, his first major client was Berkel Scales for whom he designed a complete graphic line. His style had its roots in the philosophy of de Stijl and the precepts of the Bauhaus and Constructivists. Later on, he also did work for Philips and the Dutch Post Office. A teacher at the Royal Academy in the Hague, Schuitema’s virtuosity at photomontage, New Typography, and graphic design tricks, such as overprinting, influenced the next generation of Dutch designers. This poster, advertising an exhibition of the Federation of Art in Advertising, is typical of his work. Schuitema uses bold, legible sans-serif typography and only two colors to convey his message. The asymmetrical placing of the logo in the background draws even more attention to the words. Schuitema

  • PKZ Coat
    By Otto Baumberger
    Located in New York, NY
    Baumberger, Otto. PKZ 1923, Color lithograph, On Linen 50 1/2 x 35 1/2” Baumberger was one of the most prolific Swiss poster artists, with well over 200 designs to his credit. Beginning in 1917, he regularly worked for PKZ. This poster is not only the best he produced for the company but is also an icon in poster history. The tweed coat is rendered in near-photographic perfection to the point where you can practically feel the fabric. Baumberger took a totally new approach to advertising by ingeniously incorporating the poster's text into the image in the form of the label in the coat. With this poster Baumberger cemented his role as master of the "Object Poster," (a title he earned four years earlier with a classic image of a top hat), and began the trend of "New Objectivity" within the Swiss school of Graphic Design. A sensation from the day it was issued, this image remains compelling and proves to be one of the finest of the PKZ posters...
