Little is known about Osen, aside from a few paintings of his that have appeared on the market. For this, his only known poster, he presents an intriguing, expressionism-influenced typographic construction to promote a German production of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Max Schwartzer also designed a poster for this production. DFP-III 2499.
