CARL ROESCH (1884-1979)

THEATERKUNST AUSSTELLUNG / ZURICH. 1914.


33¾x24¼ inches, 83¾x61 cm.
Condition A-: expert overpainting and repaired tears in margins.

Born in Diessenhofen, Switzerland, Roesch was a painter, graphic artist and art teacher known for his talents in landscape painting and his work in the field of art education. His drawings and paintings from his later career show clear influence of Impressionism, as well as the colorful nature of Expressionism. Roesch designed another exhibition poster for the Theaterkunst Ausstellung in 1914, that stylistically bridges the gap between his more painterly oeuvre, and the bold geometry of this early poster design.
