Ludwig Hohlwein

Posted on 01/11/10.

Ludwig Hohlwein (1874 -1949) was a poster artist, graphic designer, architect and painter. He is counted alongside Lucian Bernhard, Ernst German-Dryden, Hans Rudi Erdt and Julius Klinger as one of the most prominent, and an influential representatives of the art of advertising. After studying in Munich and Dresden, and study tours to London and Paris he settled down in Munich as an architect. From 1904 Hohlwein regularly presented prints, watercolors and tempera paintings in the Munich Glass Palace. His signature style is easily recognisable and it varied little over his 40 year career. The drawing was perfect, his figures full of touches of color and a play of light and shade that brings them out of their background and gives them substance. He is said to have been inspired by the work of the British duo the Beggarstaffs who virtually created the modern poster, with clear outlines and large areas of flat colour.

Max Huber

Posted on 22/10/10.

Max Huber (1919–92) was an influential Swiss graphic designer with close links to a circle of brilliant artists, designers and intellectuals such as Josef Muller-Brockmann, Achille Castiglioni, Werner Bischof, Albe Steiner, and Carlo Vivarelli. At the end of WWII he moved to Milan where he produced some of his most iconic and influential designs. Huber’s work was consistently innovative, and by combining painting and photography with other graphic media, he remained avant-garde throughout his career, bringing the utopian vision of the modern masters to bear on corporate typography and identity design.
