Schweizer Werkbund Ausstellung. 1918.
A painter and set designer, Morach had his first non-teaching job in 1918 when he designed the set for the Marionette Theater within the Swiss Werkbund exhibition, which this poster announces. The Swiss Werkbund was a coalition of artists, architects, and designers which launched in 1913. They hosted lectures and exhibitions throughout Zurich. This mainly typographic image makes the statement that simplicity, form, and function can prove quite effective. Rare!
