He is one of Germany's most important poster, graphics and stage designers, and has won the German/Swiss/Austrian "100 Best Posters of the Year" contest many times. Through early and intense study of the famed Berlin Poster Collection at the Museum for German History (DHM), he is deeply rooted in and inspired by classical Berlin poster art from the 1910s and 1920s (by artists such as Jo Steiner, Klinger, Gipkens, Edel, Zille, Fenneker and even Toulouse-Lautrec), and German Expressionism. As a professor of poster and stage design in Berlin and Leipzig, he has handed down this tradition to a next generation, many of whom have become leading poster artists, illustrators and professors themselves (such as Wagenbreth, Feuchtenberger, ATAK and many others). As of of 2020, he is still alive at the age of 80! Artist: Volker Pfuller Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by artist Volker Pfuller! Also, Johannes Robert Becher was a German politician, novelist, and poet. He was affiliated with the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) before World War II (WWII). At one time, he was part of the literary avant-garde, writing in an expressionist style. With the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, modernist artistic movements were suppressed. Becher escaped from a military raid in 1933 and settled in Paris for a couple of years. He moved to the Soviet Union in 1935 with the central committee of the KPD. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Becher and other German communists were evacuated to internal exile in Tashkent. He returned to favor in 1942 and was recalled to Moscow. After the end of World War II, Becher left the Soviet Union and returned to Germany, settling in the Soviet-occupied zone that later became East Berlin. As a member of the KPD, he was appointed to various cultural and political positions and became part of the leadership of the Socialist Unity Party. In 1949, he helped found the DDR Academy of Arts, Berlin, and served as its president from 1953 to 1956. In 1953 he was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize (later the Lenin Peace Prize). He was the culture minister of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1954 to 1958. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
