In this 1965 poster promoting an exhibition of works from the German magazine TWEN, Glaser appears to break through the page. The name is printed in the Schmalfette Grotesk typeface typically used by the art director, Willy Fleckhaus, for the headlines of TWEN (short for “twenty”), a free-spirited, high style, and highly controversial magazine intended for the first generation of young adults to emerge in postwar Germany.
