Zero (Hans Schleger, 1898-1976) Journalists Use Shell
Est: £1,500 - £2,000
lithographic poster, 1938, condition A; not backed, framed (Dimensions: 76cm x 114cm (30in x 45 in)) (76cm x 114cm (30in x 45 in)) Footnote: Literature: Hewitt, The Shell Poster Book, 91. Shell’s 1930s advertising targeted new audiences with the People Prefer campaign. The series showed the broad range of people that opted for Shell, including: Farmers, Film Stars, Tourists and Doctors. Here it’s the turn of the journalists and Zero’s approach clearly draws on the Surrealist movement to create a powerful image full of intrigue. Schleger, who signed most of his graphic work “Zero,” studied in Berlin and was much influenced by the Bauhaus.

Condition B+ / B: restored losses and restoration in corners and at edges; minor restoration along vertical and horizontal folds. When the former director of the Empire Marketing Board, Sir Stephen Tallents, who had commissioned posters from Schleger in the past, began to work at the British Post Office, he called on his former employee to help create a series of informational images on how to best utilize the postal services. In this instance, Schleger toys around with sizes, a favorite technique of his, and depicts a diminutive man gazing at a huge envelope against an interesting background of dots. Instead of the address, a rhyming couplet gently reminds letter-writers to provide complete information when addressing letters.

Est: $5,000 - $6,000
ARTIST: ZERO (Hans Schleger, 1898-1976) SIZE: 25 x 39 3/4 in./63.5 x 101 cm PRINTER: The Baynard Press. DESCRIPTION: It's time to Mind the Gap, thank you. "Rather than consign [the circle-and-bar emblem of the London Underground] to the corner of the poster as an afterthought Schleger incorporated it into the center of the design" (Crouse/Deco, p. 270). Hans Schleger, who called himself Zero, was an important figure in the history of graphic design, adhering to simplicity of concept and reduction to essentials (hence his nom de plume). Born in Germany, he allied himself with most of the precepts of Bauhaus, and exported these Modernist ideas to New York, then back to Berlin, and then London during the 1930s, when he produced many works for the London Underground and Allied propaganda.

ZERO (HANS SCHLEGER, 1898-1976) NATIONAL ASSETS / BE SPARING IN THEIR USE. Circa 1940. 29x36 inches, 73 3/4x91 1/2 cm. Haycock Press, London. Condition B / B+: tape on verso along tear through upper edge into image; tears and pin holes at edges; creases and abrasions in margins and image. Paper. During the Second World War the British government wanted the public to keep use of telephone and telegraph to a minimum to ensure the lines were free when needed for war work, so they generated a series of posters to that effect. Here, Zero has wrapped the bottom of a telegraph around telephone lines. It is a somber message on a serious topic, yet he adds a little bird displaced from his roost to remind the public that hope still exists.

ZERO (HANS SCHLEGER, 1898-1976) UNDERGROUND / GETS YOU THERE. 1935. 40x25 inches, 101 1/2x63 1/2 cm. The Baynard Press, London. Condition B+: restoration along right edge; restored loss in lower right margin. One of a pair of posters, the other depicts a woman, that were intended to either work together or individually. Efficiently using only a few colors, Zero directs the viewer's attention to the man's watch, which is in the shape of the Underground's logo. The connection between timeliness and the trains is accomplished in an ingenious manner. "Hans Schleger was one of the supreme practitioners of the floating world of dreams, desires, possessions and consumption. His pioneering work was done in 1920s and 1930s, the heroic age of modernist advertising and publicity designs" (Zero p. 11). Zero p. 42, London Underground p. 76 (var).
