Anton Stankowski began his most serious work in the late 1920s, as a contemporary of the Zurich "Konkretes" who were also influenced by the Bauhaus. He was a decorative painter and printmaker, as well as the creator of masterly, abstract photographs, clever advertising graphics and remarkable logos--outstanding examples of visualization in the applied arts. Over the postwar years, he developed well-known logos for SEL, the S]ddeutsche Rundfunk and Deutsche Bank, and a teaching concept for design in "Bildpldne."
