HENRI C. PIECK (1895-1972) JAARBEURS UTRECHT. 1935.
39 3/4x29 1/4 inches, 101x74 1/4 cm. De Maas, Rotterdam.
Condition B+ / A-: repaired tears at edges, slightly affecting image; abrasions in image.
Both an artist and an architect, Pieck was often called upon to design the posters for the yearly industrial fair held in Utrecht. His bold, profoundly Art Deco images, celebrating the Machine Age, modernism, architecture and commerce, must have been immensely appealing to the fair's promoters. Modern Dutch 82.
