HANS NEUBURG (1904-1983) & ANTON STANKOWSKI (1906-1998) SUPER BOUILLON LIEBIG. 1934. 49 3/4x35 1/2 inches, 126 1/2x90 1/2 cm. Ringier & Co., Zofingen. Condition B+: repaired tears at edges into image; creases, abrasions and restoration at edges. Swiss-born Hans Neuburg, an influential figure in the design and typography world, met German-born Anton Stankowski in Zürich in 1916 at the Dalang advertising agency. Stankowski, himself a pioneer in advertising photography, "became a key figure in a circle of young designers in Zürich. Hans Neuburg, for a while, shared a Zürich apartment with him" (Swiss Graphic Design p. 100-1). This poster, for a brand of beef bouillon is one of the most famous examples of their work as a team. "Stankowski distorted and angled the image - the woman appears as a cheerful, maternal figure seen from the eye level of a child" (ibid. p. 104). This is the German version.
