MARTSTAM-DE ARCHITEKT / MONDRIAN. Two posters. 1972. Sizes vary. Condition varies, generally A-. Paper. In the 1920s Paul Schuitema, along with Piet Zwart, used new typography and photography in pure constructivist ways, and became the fathers of modern Dutch graphism. His most famous works were for Berkal Scales, Philips and the Dutch Post Office. Towards the end of his life, after having dedicated most of his career to films, he designed a few posters for exhibitions which paid tribute to other members of the Dutch avant-garde. Here paying tribute to the artists Mondrian, painter and founder of De Stijl, and Mart Stamm, the Dutch modernist architect, he used the specific visual vocabulary that characterized their work: the rectangle for Mondrian and topography similar to that used by Stamm for an architecture exhibition in 1928. Two highly decorative, typographic posters signed by a master, that would fit into any modernist environment.
