VOLKS - UNIVERSITEIT / HILVERSUM. 1920.

Of the sixteen posters Roland-Holst designed during his career (between 1910 and 1920), nine were for the theater. This poster was one of his last, but adheres to his standard construction. The image is built on a strict vertical axis with geometrical elements and antique columns. The image depicts an allegory of education in which the crowd's thirst for knowledge is slaked by the liquid being poured by a muse. As usual with Roland-Holst, the poster is printed in black and white with small traces of color.
