Emmentalisches Schwingfest – Heimiswil (1951)

Paul Wyss is the artist behind "Emmentalisches Schwingfest – Heimiswil", dated 1951. Vintage Posters in brief: Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and later modernist design each left a recognisable poster style. Posters announced theatre, travel, products, and events, combining image and lettering to be read at a glance from the street. Historical background, 1951: After 1945 the centre of Western art activity shifted to New York, where Abstract Expressionism was followed by Pop art, Minimalism, and Conceptual art. Photography, film, and print culture became part of the language of art, and artists across the world developed their own responses to modernism. It is listed in the Vintage Posters collection. The image is in portrait orientation.
