"Fidus designed the poster for a congress on 'biological hygiene' that took place in Hamburg in 1912, where he also delighted listeners with a slide lecture on his art of 'rising life.' His poster shows a 'Nordic' man in the process of breaking his bonds and rising up to the stars."  Berlinische Galerie, Museum für Moderne Kunst.
