Jupp Wiertz was a prolific poster designer based in Berlin. His soft, elegant Art Deco style was perfect for advertising fashion and tourism, and he stood out from other German designers due to the "lightness and the surprising facility of his drawing . . . [he] sold dreams and charm, with his elegant but never vulgar young women" (Weill p. 174). Verfuhrungen 176.
