Talk:Ludwig Hohlwein

Ludwig Hohlwein's Career
Ludwig's earlier career consisted of arts and crafts, which later transitioned into posters and advertising. His earlier work is not well known. The earlier works include interior designs such as notably, furniture and appliances. According to Ludwig Hohlwein: Crafts and the Art of Advertising (page 12), the museums which displayed his work showed his pieces of art intervened with his advertising work. This led up to viewers exploring and discovering what he was capable of doing. Eventually he stopped doing crafts and interior designs when he was in his 30's. He decided to dedicate himself to posters and advertisements which made him quickly successful. With all this advertising starting to sprout, Hohlwein began to put together some propaganda for World War II in the 1920's. Some propaganda was the early stage of propaganda and other propaganda promoted preparation and care of good food. These posters had characteristics like a limited color palette, the illustration of a featured object and the name of the company that was trying to be promoted.

Peer Review
[Johnmccarthyyy] Not much has been added but what has been added is relevant information on Hohlwein's life. A more broken down page with a summary up top and sub divisions down below will give more of a real feel to the page and help it be more easily navigate-able.

2nd Peer Review
Not much work has been done since the first review. What I said in my first review still stands, a detailed picture of his life still needs to be worked out in a logical manner. Page breakdowns and info needs to be added in order to secure that the right amount of info is added to get a good grade. Pictures, sources, and overall info needs to be added.

WWII work
It seems like it would be appropriate to mention his membership in and work for the Nazi party before WWII as noted here. KellenT 17:14, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. It's pretty egregiously bad to have such a positive article about a guy who was openly and clearly a Nazi. Putting in context to note how his graphic ideas were used as a propaganda tool for a vicious state. More context here, please. TVandePasT 12:55, 25 April 2018
