JOSEPH ADOLPH LANG (1873-1936) DÜSSELDORF / INTERNATIONALE KUNST UND GARTENBAU AUSSTELLUNG. 1904. 36 1/2x24 3/4 inches, 93x63 cm. A. Bagel, Dusseldorf. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image. Vienna-born Lang worked in Düsseldorf between 1900 and 1911. For this Art and Landscape Design Show, he provides two stylish and elegant but muted allegories on either side of the red, empty center of the poster. Art is represented by a sensuous woman holding a flower, and landscape design by a decorative interpretation of a tree. The jugendstil sophistication of the image is a far cry from the exuberant vegetal exaggerations of the French Art Nouveau artists. This is the German version. DFP III 1943.
