JOHANNES ANTON VON STEIN (1896-1965) WINKLER PRINS.
38x201/2 inches. Rotogravure, Leiden.
Condition A. Framed.
Von Stein was a painter and poster designer who brought his own personal elegance to his works. Although his compositions are very strict, and here monumental, they also contain a very appealing Art Deco touch. His giant, sculptural depiction of Athena, goddess of wisdom, against detailed background of the cosmos, makes an eye-catching spokesperson for this modern encyclopedia.
