HERBERT MATTER (1907-1984) ENGELBERG. 1928. 50 1/4x35 1/2 inches, 127 1/2x90 1/4 cm. Orell Fussli, Zurich. Condition A- / B+: tears and repaired tears at edges; creases and abrasions in margins and image; tape on verso; vertical and horizontal folds. Paper. Although best known for his work in the field of photomontage, Matter's earlier posters show that before his foray into the avant-garde, he had a firm command of graphic design and composition. This poster was designed the same year he designed his famous image for PKZ. By 1934 he more fully embraced the technique of photomontage. Swiss Tourist 149.
