Haus der Kunst (House of Art) is a museum for modern and contemporary art in Munich, Bavaria. It is located at Prinzregentenstraße 1 at the southern edge of the English Garden, Munich's largest park.
Henry Ehlers (1897 -1988) was a German graphic artist who lived and worked in Munich. Ehlers created advertising posters for a number of companies such as BMW, Erdinger Weißbier and the men's fashion house Hansen & Co in Cologne. His graphic style is unique in German-speaking countries: his shapes are structured strictly geometrically, influenced by Art Deco. These strict compositions are combined with sometimes absurd, almost Dadaist advertising messages. His advertising graphics are treated as works of art. One of his posters is part of the permanent exhibition at MoMA New York.

Alekos Fassianos (Αλέκος Φασιανός, 1935 – 2022) was a renowned Greek painter. He gained recognition for his distinctive style, which was characterized by immediacy and a deliberate departure from standardized painting techniques.
The characteristic artistic style of Alekos Fassianos is formed in the early 60's. The three main themes during its course are man, nature and the environment. His study of Greek culture, his involvement with graphic arts and engraving influenced his painting. In his first compositions, the figure of the officer dominates with the inflatable, red cheeks and the fancy ribbons on the uniform. As well as the cartoonishly evocative style. Gradually the forms move and acquire their own life. They become pairs that fill the space as soon as they touch each other. However,… Read More
