Description (Dublin Core)
-
Continental Tires was established in Germany in 1871. They were enormously successful not just in Germany, but also in France, where they constructed a huge plant and employed Leonetto Cappiello and Mich to make posters marketing their wares. They also engaged prominent artists in Germany. Gipkens was a self-taught poster artist who was quite busy both before and after World War I. He worked for the prominent business of Hollerbaum & Schmidt, whose stellar roster of painters included Lucian Bernhard, Hans Rudi Erdt, Julius Klinger, and Ernest Deutsch. Gipkens' Object Posters is a strong continuation of Bernhard's, exhibiting a section of a tire with a placard dangling from its air valve.
