FRANZ PAUL GLASS (1886-1964) MUNCHEN / SOMMER 1931.
48x33 inches. Mandruck, Munich.
Condition A-: repaired tears and minor tape stains in margins.
During his long career (see lot 3) Glass often accepted commissions from the city of Munich. This travel poster, considered one of his classic designs, emphasizes a religious aspect of the city with an extremely unusual approach. It is an architectural snapshot of Munich's Frauenkirche and its surroundings depicted in yellow within the stylized outline of a bishop. Against a dark background, it is a very surprising and strong optical effect. Rademacher p. 119, Verfuhrungen 30.
