Munich Zoological Garden Leopard Poster
Wild cats of the Munich zoo.During the most productive period of Hohlwein's career, his years in Munich, he made posters for many city institutions, including several for the zoo. This broadly blocked image of a leopard and a panther shows the artist's powers of abstraction and reaffirms his celebrity as an animal painter. The original poster has sold at auction for $3,000 - $4,000.
