JOZEF WINTERS (1911-1981) ANTWERPEN / WERELDHAVEN - KUNSTSTAD. Circa 1935. 39 1/4x24 inches, 99 3/4x61 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears and restoration at edges, some affecting image; creases and restoration in image. Promoting Antwerp as a city with both an international port and great artistic heritage, the artist (who is unknown except for this poster) harmoniously aligns images of both themes. Against the colors of the Belgian flag he depicts ships in the city's harbor, and the great Art Deco skyscraper, the Boerentoren (the Farmer's Tower), against a darker silhouette of the city's famous Cathedral of Our Lady. The excellent Art Deco image is composed of only flat tones of color without the use of any outlining.
