Mangold
Burkhard
1873 - 1950
For over
60 years the Zurich clothier PKZ teamed with the leading printer J.E.
Wolfsenberger to produce Switzerland’s greatest poster series. Marked
always by the richest textures and tones seen in lithography, the series
featured all of the best Swiss poster artists, from Baumberger, Cardinaux
and Mangold to Matter, Birkhauser and Stoecklin. Given enormous artistic
freedom, each artist was allowed to interpret the PKZ man or PKZ look
as he saw fit. Mangold was one of the pioneers of Swiss poster art, having
assimilated a modernist style during his student days in Munich.
