JOSEF MÜLLER-BROCKMANN (1914-1996) WENIGER LÄRM. 1960. 50x35 3/4 inches, 127x90 3/4 cm. J. Müller-Brockmann, Zürich. Condition A-: overpainting in lower left corner; minor repaired tears, creases and restoration at edges; repaired pin holes in corners. In the same style as the previous lot, Joseph Müller-Brockmann designed another powerful image for a different public campaign launched by the Swiss Committee to Combat Noise. He employs a close-up black and white photograph as the basis of the design, in which the hard, right angle formed by the red text and the woman's arms sets up a dissonance that accentuates the anguish on her face. This is the German version. Modern Poster 232, Weill 543, La Femme 93, Muller-Brockmann 159, Plakat Kunst p. 155 (var), MoMA 513.1983.
