Biography

Jobst Kuch was a German graphic designer and poster artist from Nürnberg. Although very little is known about his entire oeuvre, the poster of the “The First World Advertising Congress” of 1929 in Berlin is nonetheless an important historical document. After 1930 Kuch was involved in several wall and mural paintings in public buildings and churches in and near Nürnberg.

Kuch’s wife Bertl (1904-1994) became much better known as a graphic artist than her husband, with whom she also cooperated. Both were master’s students at the State School of Applied Arts in Nürnberg.
