Baumberger was one the most prolific Swiss graphic designers, and also one of the most versatile. His posters switched nimbly between the near photographic representation of objects via the Neue Sachlichkeit, minimal typographic creations, abstract and realistic landscapes and concise Art Deco designs. This is the English version.
