At twenty-two Gunter Rambow started his own design studio in Kassel 1960. In his posters he tackles the social and political problems of his time, making no secret of his ideological bearings: to the left. His theatre posters contain caustic comments on the plays, interpreted in the topical context of everyday life. Rambow’s use of documentary-style photography actualises the often abstract ideas behind his designs. It has become a defining feature of his work: to confront the imagery of myths and fantasy with the problems and contradictions of contemporary society.
