A Linenbacked German Special Poster (measures 38 3/4" x 57 1/4" [98 x 145 cm]) (Learn More) Munchener Herz Und Schwabinger Luft (literally translates to "Munich Heart and Schwabinger Air"), the 1938 German poster promoting a masquerade ball festival which was produced by the Munich Art Colleges, and held on January 29th at the Deutsches Theater in Munich, Germany. Note that this poster features Olaf Gulbransson artwork of a sexy woman embracing a masked man with the silhouette of the Cathedral of Our Dear Lady in the background. Munich (the Bavarian capital) used to be a carnival stronghold from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century (until well into the 1930s), and it is in fact alive and kicking today. In 1914 alone, there were 533 masked balls and 145 black and white balls. This phenomenon of decadent hustle and bustle was created in particular by the artists of the Schwabinger Boheme, at first in the form of wild studio festivals, but increasingly also by artists' balls. Olaf Gulbransson was an illustrator identified with the German satirists of the early 20th century, and noted for portrait caricature. He is also important as one of the first satirists of Adolf Hitler. Gulbransson studied at the Royal Norwegian Drawing School and worked for several Norwegian newspapers. After a visit to Paris in 1900, he returned to Oslo, where he distributed his first album consisting of caricatures of famous Norwegians. In 1902 he moved to Munich and began his long association with Simplicissimus, a leading publication in the fertile artistic and intellectual climate of the time. There he became famous for his gently satiric caricatures executed in a sure, bold style with a minimum number of lines. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
