Willy Hallstein
Georg Wilhelm Hallstein (born September 23, 1887 in Darmstadt , † May 14, 1923 in Munich ) was a German caricaturist , etcher , draftsman and poster artist. From 1919 until his death in 1923 he worked regularly for the magazine Jugend , in which a total of 143 works by him were published during this period. He illustrated books for René Prévot and Ernst Hoferichter .
Life
Together with the writer and literary critic Franz Blei , he published a portfolio with etchings on Schwabing bohemian in 1922 . As a poster artist, he designed posters for the Krone Circus . As a typographer and commercial artist, he designed several title pages for sheet music by the composer Heinrich Kaspar Schmid . "Hallstein deserves to remain alive in the memory of posterity - his early death in the economically difficult time at the beginning of the 1920s, however, meant that he was wrongly forgotten."
