Luitpold Domberger (1912 - 2005)

Luitpold Domberger

Luitpold Domberger was a graphic designer and pioneer of artistic screen printing in Germany. In 1949, he founded his first print shop in Stuttgart. Domberger's skill as a stencil artist gained international renown and paved the way for many collaborations with international artists. Domberger also promoted the professionalisation of screen printing and assisted many young artists in their careers in his studio. Domberger specialised in the intricate hand-cutting of stencils and made extensive use of fluorescent inks and other new materials in his collaborations. In addition to creating works from sketches by other artists, Domberger made a number of his own stencils in a rigid style reminiscent of works associated with the minimalist and op-art movements.
