Burkhard Mangold's artistic career covered several distinct areas, including painting, mural design, stained glass, printed ephemera and posters. A pioneer of modern Swiss poster art, Mangold's pre-1920s works "have an effect through sophisticated image inventions: simplification and monumentalization of the form, flatness, connection of text and image, staggering of images. Mangold's other means are the interweaving of close and distant perspectives, the involvement of the viewer (through back figures, extreme close-up or bottom view), the free use of traditional image motifs as well as humor and irony" (burkhardmangold.ch/).
