AW Sauter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Willi Sauter (born April 2, 1911 in Basel ; † February 24, 1961 in Heilbronn ) was a German graphic artist who mainly worked in Heilbronn.

Life

Sauter's father was Alsatian , his mother from Heilbronn. As a child he came to Heilbronn. He began his art studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart with Ernst Schneidler and later switched to the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe to study with Karl Hubbuch . He worked as a shop window designer and as a designer for packaging, business papers and trademarks. In the 1930s he won two first prizes for shop window designs for Heilbronn shops: in 1935 in the shop window competition of the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Deutsche Buchwerbung for the Rudi Kienzle bookstore, and in 1937 in the shop window competition as part of the Reichswerbewochen for the German pharmacy for the Safe'sche Pharmacy . In 1938, the magazine Nutzgraphik - International Advertising Art praised his “unusually economical scenic effort” and described his work as “not only graphically, but also psychologically exemplary”.
