ALEX W. DIGGELMANN (1902-1987) INTERLAKEN / FÜR IHRE FERIEN. 1933. 50x35 1/2 inches, 127x64 3/4 cm. Gebr. Fretz. A.G., Zurich. Condition B+: creases and abrasions in margins and image; restoration at edges. Diggelman opened his own studio at the beginning of the 1930s. He specialized in sports and tourism posters, working for fashionable resorts like Gstaad, Klosters, St. Moritz and Interlaken. His style, which varied depending on his inspiration, included classical and stylized landscapes, the famous white rabbit of St. Moritz, Neue Sachlichkeit and more. Here he employs an elegant, mannerist, Art Deco style. Perhaps taking a cue from the depicted mountain, the Jungfrau (Young Woman), he portrays the outline of a woman's head, rouge and lipstick meticulously applied, with a strand of pearls around her neck, all against a metallic-silver rendition of the surrounding mountains. This is the German version. Paradis p. 193.
