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.
