Ludwig Hohlwein

Ludwig Hohlwein was a German poster artist. He was trained and practised as an architect until 1906, when he switched to poster design. Hohlwein's adaptations of photographic images was based on a deep and intuitive understanding of graphical principles. His creative use of color and architectural compositions dispels any suggestion that he uses photos as a substitute for creative design. Read more from Wikipedia →
