J. D. ROS (1875-1952) TENTOONSTELLING OPVOEDING 7 JEUGD. 1919. 38 3/4x28 1/4 inches. Lankhout, Haag. Condition A-: creases and minor tears in margins. Paper. Like most painters of his generation Ros also designed a few posters. This image, for an education exhibition, is typical of the Dutch school approach to graphics: it is a symmetrical layout, it is highly symbolic (the tree which becomes a heart), it is filled with abstract decorative elements, it is executed with only a limited use of colors and it employs perfect typography.
