Conrad Dreher. 1912.
Although born in Oslo, Norway, Gulbransson later moved to Munich, where he became an integral figure in the poster and art world; he was a contributor to Simplicissimus, gained notoriety for his political caricatures, and was a professor of drawing and painting at the Munich Academy. "His exemplary linear technique—which aptly captured and illuminated situations with the most economy and found concise formulations with caricature intentions—found only a small field of activity in the field of poster making—and that only later—but should not be left unmentioned because the few designs of Gulbransson's demonstrate the striking surface art in the best possible way. A significant example is the poster for Conrad Dreher's lecture evening. Here the distinctive trait of the early German poster becomes clear: to achieve the greatest possible impact with the simplest means" (Deutsche Plakat, p. 83).
