He grew up among the working children and experienced from an early age, class distinctions between workers and employers. This experience would shape his later artistic work. Since he had no interest to take over the family firm, he completed an apprenticeship as drawing teacher at a private art school in Düsseldorf. Politically oriented left and with the desire for social improvement Arntz began to work with the ‘Progressive’, a group of artists whose concern was to critically identify social contexts and thus induce a positive social change. On this basis, Arntz developed easy to understand icons, which made him the inventor and pioneer of modern pictogram. (fea) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
