A Linenbacked German Advertising Poster (measures 8 3/4" x 12" [22 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Baren-Brauerei (literally translates to "Bear Brewery"), the 1926 German beer brewery advertisement for the Baren Brewery in Schwenningen, Germany, which features art of a bear by Ludwig Hohlwein. Ludwig Hohlwein was a German artist from the 1890s until his passing in 1949. He is one of the best known German poster artists (though his reputation suffered because of his work with the Nazis)! Initially an architect student who illustrated for newspapers, he went on to design book decorations, booklets, and advertising posters. He joined the Nazi Regime in 1933 after refusing an offer to emigrate to the United States, and created government program posters as well as advertisements for the 1936 Munich Olympics. Poster historian Alain Weill says "Hohlwein was the most prolific and brilliant German posterist of the 20th century. Beginning with his first efforts, Hohlwein found his style with disconcerting facility. It would vary little for the next forty years. The drawing was perfect from the start, nothing seemed alien to him, and in any case, nothing posed a problem for him. His figures are full of touches of color and a play of light and shade that brings them out of their background and gives them substance". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Ludwig Hohlwein Important Added Info: Ludwig Hohlwein is considered to be one of the most prolific and brilliant German artists of the 20th century.

Note that this poster is linenbacked, and normally we would send linenbacked posters rolled in a tube, but because this is a very small poster, and because rolling it might caused it to have creases, we intend to send it in a small flat package instead (however, if the purchaser of this poster also purchases other linen posters, and absolutely wants us to send it rolled with those other linens, we will do so).

Overall, the art print was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The print was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
