An Unfolded German Special Poster (measures 11 1/2" x 16 1/4" [29 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) International Jagdausstellung (literally translates to "International Hunting Exhibition"), the 1937 German poster promoting an exhibition about hunting (featuring Finnish falconers, French par force dog handlers, etc) which was held at the exhibition halls located next to the Funkturm Berlin (Berlin Radio Tower) from November 2nd to the 21st in Berlin, Germany. Nazi politician and military leader Hermann Goring was a speaker at the event. Note that this poster features Ludwig Hohlwein art of golden antlers in front of a man with a hunting falcon. 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.
