ON THIS POSTER WAS PRESENT A SWASTISKA WHICH , ACCORDING TO THE FRENCH LAW , HAS BEEN MASKED ON THE PHOTOGRAPHY, BEFORE TO BE PUBLISHED ONLINE ON OUR WEBSITE. - The Vienna-born Matejko moved to Berlin in 1920 and became heavily involved in creating early film posters. All of them had great drama and flair, including the ones executed for concerns outside of show business, such as this poster for the 1934 German Grand Prix, held at the infamous Nurburgring race track (see No. 175) whose moody, dust-and-exhaust atmosphere places the viewer directly in the thick of the chase. It's impossible not to notice the central placement of the Nazi standard amidst the rest of the other participating nations' flags. But apart from the obvious unease that the image by-and-large stirs in a contemporary viewer, the swastika's position is more than iconographic posturing-beginning in 1934 and lasting through 1939, the German-manufactured Auto-Union and Mercedes-Benz vehicles would dominate the Grand Prix event. Despite his successes as a Grand Prix driver during the era of the Mercedes Silver Arrows, Hans Stuck (1900-1978)-who won the 1934 race behind the wheel of an Auto Union racer-is mostly remembered for his hillclimbing prowess, which earned him the nickname Bergkoenig. - Estampe Moderne Sportive Affiches anciennes.
