Plakatfrauen. Frauenplakate
In the organizer's words:
Posters from the first heyday of German poster design (1913-1921)
The male and female view of the role of women in society
Female graphic designers: Emancipation through poster design
The theme of the exhibition "Poster Women. Women's Posters" and the accompanying publication focus on the changing relationship between the poster as an artistic and creative medium and the role of women. The focus is not only on women who appear on posters, but also in particular on female graphic designers and their new self-confidence.
A selection from the collections of F. W. Neess and Maximilian Karagöz shows the diverse roles of women as they were portrayed on posters in public. These works from the first heyday of German poster design (1905-1921) skillfully stage various roles of the female and thus convey them to society: they illustrate what behaviour was socially desirable, what freedoms were conceivable, but also what boundaries were non-negotiable.
For the male poster designer, the woman is the model that is used in a variety of ways.
However, women also designed posters professionally at a time when they still had to fight against prejudices against their gender. Their posters show the growing self-confidence of women to say goodbye to unique handicrafts and small formats and instead enter the public eye with large-format advertising media that could be reproduced in large numbers: Emancipation through poster design.
