1950's

Over the last 100 years, the annals of Swiss poster history have been written by many designers, but only a few artists have to any extent created as great a poster portfolio as Hans Falk. Falk's remarkable gift of drawing lead him from the beginning. The poster became for him the reflection of his artistic credo to the public. In that respect, his work is similar to the posters made by artists for exhibitions, theater, cabaret and sporting events in France at the turn of the century. Their success was not based upon market analysis, but rather the striking, surprising artistic statement. These similarities gave him the name "The Lautrec of the 20th Century".
