Klinger studied art in Vienna, and worked in Berlin for the printer and publisher Hollerbaum &
Schmidt, as well as for the satiric magazine
Lustige Blätter
. He was a prolific, versatile and inventive
graphic artist, recognized as one of the best German poster artists and illustrators working in pre-War
Berlin. He was also an accomplished typographer, whose style ranged from the flat tones and strong
outlining (popular in Germany at the time), to strictly typographic pieces, bold and daring graphic
constructions and humorous caricatures.
