After designing images in a geometric Art Deco style (Gaba, 1927) and toying with surrealism (PKZ, 1934), Stoecklin turned towards the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). In this style, not only were products rendered in a hyperrealistic manner, without abstraction or interpretation, but lithographic techniques were also used at an elevated and precise level, allowing for clearer, crisper printing than ever before. Stoecklin was clearly a master of this form (inaugurating the style with this and another image for Meta briquettes). This is the German version.
