An Unfolded German Art Exhibition Poster (measures 33" x 48" [84 x 122 cm]) (Learn More) Grosses Fest Der Juryfreien (literally translates to "Great Jury-Free Festival"), the 1933 German poster promoting a festival to take place in Munich, and featuring circus art (with a man that looks like a caricature of Mussolini) by Ch. Hess. It is interesting to note that when Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany, he banned all expressionist and "modern" art as "decadent", but oddly, he allowed this sort of festival, and the posters created for them, to continue (perhaps it was related to it taking place in Munich, and perhaps he had fond years of living in Munich as a young man, including when he was in prison near the city, when he wrote "Mein Kampf", and perhaps he did not have a philosophical difference with this kind of festival!). If anyone knows more about this event, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Ch. Hess Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare German Art exhibition poster. Posters from this time period are extremely scarce, due to the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II. Many of these posters are for specific events that were held, and naturally, those posters would figure to be even more rare, since they could only have been used prior to the date of the event. We have auctioned this poster only once before in 2017 and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the ONLY example of this poster that we have ever auctioned! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a piece of tape on the back of the left border that bled through to the front. Someone put some tape on the back of the entire right border where there had been a few small tears, and that tape has bled through to the front, but only in the blank border. But overall, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition, and its defects are primarily in the blank borders. Learn More about condition grades
