PETER BIRKHAUSER (1911-1976) FEBA TINTE. 1941.
491/2x341/2 inches. Sauberlin & Pfeiffer, A. G. Vevey.
Condition A.
Feba is another example of Birkhauser's precision as a draughtsman. Just as in his poster for Radio Paillard, he places his object in the middle of empty space, allowing the design to breathe and to further emphasize the details. To match the elegance of the design, Birkhauser employs old-fashioned typography. Schweiz p. 163.
