LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949)
WELTAUSSTELLUNG BRÜSSEL. 1910.
24½x33¼ inches, 62¼x84½ cm. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition A-: creases in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds; pin holes in corners. Paper. Framed.
When Hohlwein received the official commission to design the poster for Germany's participation in the 1910 Brussels World's Fair, he stuck with a very academic artistic inspiration. The straightforward image of a naked man astride a horse is executed in Hohlwein's singular style with the unexpected additional flourish of the Brussels skyline, laid out across the bottom of the poster. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 28, DFP-III 1363, Wember 416.
