TRIAS (ROLF FREY) RADIO - TELEFUNKEN. 27 1/2x19 1/8 inches. Condition A-: minor tears in margins; string affixed to verso. We know practically nothing about Trias, except that he was active in Berlin in the 1930s, where he designed posters for major companies. He used geometric shapes of red and blue to animate his compositions. Here, they are stripes out of which cleverly-stylized hands hold up different types of radio tubes produced by Telefunken. The logo, against the dark background, radiates through the entire image, making for a solid piece of efficient advertising.
