Max Burchartz

Max Burchartz, full name Max Hubert Innozenz Maria Burchartz, was a German advertising photographer, designer and avant-garde artist.

Burchartz studied at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, experimenting with Impressionism. After World War I, he resumed painting and his pictures reflected the quiet rural life of Germany but retained abstract influences.

In 1924 Burchartz devoted himself fully to the new design in typography and advertising, mixing typography, photography and photo collages. Together with Johannes Canis he founded the advertising agency werbe-bau in Bochum, and from 1926 to 1933 he taught commercial art and photography at the Volkwangschule in Essen.

Max Burchartz had a significant influence on the development of typography and advertising design in Germany. In 1928 he became a member of the board of the Society of New Advertising Designers (Ring neuer werbegestalter) and participated in the International Press Exhibition in Cologne. Burchartz also designed furniture and fittings. He is now considered a pioneer of modern design.
