HENRY EHLERS (1897- ?) 13 ARCHITEKTEN.
46 7/8x33 1/2 inches. Kunst Im Druck, Munich.
Condition A-: minor tears and creases in margins; vertical and horizontal folds.
Ehlers was a founding member of the Neue Vereinigung Munchener Plakatkunstler (the New Group of Munich Poster Artists). Employing progressive new typography, stylized graphics and photography, his style was the most modern of his colleagues. Among his major clients were the automotive giant B.M.W. and the men's clothing store Bamberger & Hertz. This impeccable poster for an architectural show of furnished homes is of the highest design quality. Literally putting furniture on the map, Ehler's image actually appears more Swiss than German in style. Plakate in Munchen 561.
