Zero: Hans Schleger, a life of design
Talk by Pat Schleger, marking the publication by Lund Humphries of
her book of the same title. Hans Schleger was a key figure in the
history of design. Born in Germany, into a Jewish family at the
end of the nineteenth century, Schleger began his career in
Berlin. In 1924 he went to New York and was one of a handful of
European émigré artists who brought the Modernist approach to
American advertising. Returning to Berlin in 1929, he worked for
an English advertising agency, emigrating to England in 1933, and
working in London until his death in 1976.
