Erwin Puchinger was a Viennese artist, who was an influential participant in the Austrian Jugendstil and Gesamtkunstwerk circles. Both of these movements worked to meld fine art traditions with applied art and to standardize their tenets of design. Puchinger worked in London, Prague and Paris as well as Vienna. Classical Greek & Roman art and architecture, which were studied by his peers, also impacted Puchinger's aesthetic and is very much apparent in this poster for the Vienna Arts and Crafts Association.
