Plakatstil
Plakatstil (German for "poster style"), also known as ''Sachplakat'', was an early style of poster art that originated in Germany in the 1900s. It was started by Lucian Bernhard of Berlin in 1906. The common characteristics of this style are bold eye-catching lettering with flat colors. Shapes and objects are simplified, and the composition focuses on a central object. ''Plakatstil'' turned away from the complexity of Art Nouveau and propagated a more modern outlook on poster art. Famous ''Plakatstil'' artists include Ludwig Hohlwein, , , Hans Lindenstadt, Julius Klinger, Julius Gipkens, , and Hans Rudi Erdt. A later master of the Sachplakat was Otto Baumberger. '' Das Plakat'' was a German art magazine that was published from 1910 to 1921 by the Verein der Plakatfreunde ("association of friends of the poster"), founded in 1905 and later edited by the Berlin dentist Hans Sachs. Lucian Bernhard was a director of the association. Gallery File:Edel Secessionsbühne 1900.jpg, , thea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hans Sachs (poster Collector)
Hans Sachs (1881-1974) was a Berlin dentist whose greatest accomplishment came from his passion for posters.

German Art
German art has a long and distinguished tradition in the visual arts, from the earliest known work of figurative art to its current output of contemporary art. Germany has only been united into a single state since the 19th century, and defining its borders has been a notoriously difficult and painful process. For earlier periods German art often effectively includes that produced in German-speaking regions including Austria, Alsace and much of Switzerland, as well as largely German-speaking cities or regions to the east of the modern German borders. Although tending to be neglected relative to Italian and French contributions from the point of view of the English-speaking world, German art has played a crucial role in the development of Western art, especially Celtic art, Carolingian art and Ottonian art. From the development of Romanesque art, France and Italy began to lead developments for the rest of the Middle Ages, but the production of an increasingly wealthy Germany rem ...
