JOSEPH ADOLPH LANG (1873-1936) DUSSELDORF / EXPOSITION INTERNATIONALE DES BEAUX-ARTS. 1904. 38x25 1/4 inches, 96 1/2x64 cm. A. Bagel, Düsseldorf. Condition B+ / B: minor losses along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Vienna-born Lang worked in Düsseldorf between 1900 and 1911. For this Art and Landscape Design Show, his only recorded poster, he provides two stylish, elegant but muted allegories on either side of the empty red center of the poster. Art is represented as a sensuous woman holding a flower, and landscape design, as 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 rarer French version. DFP III 1943 (var).
