Item Overview

Description

82 1/2x38 inches. Consee, Munich.
Condition B+: restored losses in corners and margins; repaired tears and creases in image. Two sheets.
After studying in Europe, and taking the prerequisite trip to Paris that all artists seemed to take, Münzer settled in Münich where he worked for Jugend magazine. His artistic credentials include membership in both Die Schülle and the Deutscher Werkbund. This poster advertising a weekly Ball, by far his best, was a huge success. The masked beauty personifying a wild and wonderful party certainly has a lot to do with it. Another reason for its popularity, as pointed out by Von Zur Weston, was its unusual format and size. At least one other variation, with slightly different text, is known. DFP III 2309, Reklame Kunst 101, Theater 99, Masters p. 168.
