Over the course of more than four decades, he has designed more than 1000 posters, making him one of the world's most prolific poster artists. He is best known for his designs for theater and opera productions, exhibitions, concerts, and political satire shows. His portfolio is further swelled by social and political posters, cover designs for magazines and books, as well as numerous LP and CD covers. He has said that, "Posters should be like pocket knives - spring open, dissect and get under the skin." Title is a satirical distortion of the original saying: Silence is the first duty (Pflicht) of the citizen. The historical origin of this saying is as follows: When the first news of the unfortunate battle of Jena (1806) came to Berlin, the Minister Count Schulenburg had red slips written on the street corners of the city, on which read: "The king has lost a bataille , Now rest is the first civic duty; I ask for it. Schulenburg." Artist: Holger Matthies Condition: very good to fine. The poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
