VARIOUS ARTISTS [CHILD ART.] Group of 9 posters. Circa 1924.
Sizes vary. Eduard Sieger, Vienna.
Conditions vary, generally B+ / A-. Paper.
Produced by a student class sponsored by the Austrian Junior Red Cross, these posters were produced in "Prof. Cizek's Juvenile Art Class," at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna. Franz Cizek (1865-1946), who was a member of the Austrian Secession movement, was also a pioneer in the field of Child Art. These lithographs, by young girls, are of such a high quality both artistically and lithographically, that it is difficult to imagine that the artists were in their mid teens. The artists here are Ilse Breit, Herta Breit and Martha Zehenter.
