Poster Designers of the Basel School
The poster designers of the Basel School characterised their style with humour, a clear visual language and colourful images The Basel School became famous for its factual posters in the style of ‘New Objectivity’, which developed in Germany after the First World War as a reaction to Expressionism and symbolised a return to realism and the everyday. The well-known representatives of the Basel School – such as Niklaus Stoecklin, Fritz Bühler, Donald Brun, Peter Birkhäuser and Herbert Leupin – wanted to depict reality objectively and unembellished. Their compositions should be as simple, realistic and factual as possible so that the message is immediately effective.
