RABINGER GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG.
38 3/8x24 1/2 inches. Art Luxembourgeoise.
Condition A.
Built on a hill surrounded by steep cliffs, the bridges in this Capitol city play an important part in everyday life, and are depicted here as a montage in a dramatic, abstract modernist style reminiscent of the Swiss poster artist Otto Morach. "Railways and motorways often spoil the landscape with their massive earthworks, but the graceful bridges across the deep gorge of the Petrusse, which bisects Luxembourg, enhance the rugged site of the city" (Hillier 39). English version.
