Klaus Staeck (b. 1938) is a social activist and graphic designer who trained as a lawyer in Germany. Constant themes in his poster art are social justice, free speech and political honesty. Over the years, the prolific Staeck has produced many controversial examples of agitprop - some landing him in German courts. Though addressing many complex political issues facing our contemporary existence, Klaus Staeck relies on simple visual motifs which generally incorporate the use of photomontage.
