About the Item
The original 1895 poster by Steinlen, titled "De Mazas à Jérusalem par Zo d'Axa," offers a compelling glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of the era. Created by renowned artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, this poster captures the essence of a significant literary journey undertaken by Zo d'Axa, a prominent French anarchist and journalist.
Steinlen's artistic prowess shines through in the poster's composition, which likely served as a visual invitation to engage with Zo d'Axa's writings and ideas. The juxtaposition of the mundane (represented by the reference to Mazas, a prison in Paris) with the exotic and mystical (symbolized by Jerusalem) hints at the transformative nature of Zo d'Axa's narrative journey.
As a leading figure in the anarchist movement, Zo d'Axa's writings often challenged conventional norms and advocated for social change. The poster's imagery, coupled with its enigmatic title, suggests a narrative of rebellion, exploration, and perhaps spiritual awakening—a journey from confinement to liberation, both literal and metaphorical.
Steinlen's bold use of line and form, combined with his keen understanding of visual storytelling, makes this poster not just a promotional tool but a work of art in its own right. It stands as a testament to the power of art to provoke thought, spark curiosity, and inspire action in the pursuit of social justice and intellectual freedom.

- Fromme's Kalender Art Nouveau Lithograph Poster Koloman Moser Vienna SecessionBy Koloman MoserLocated in Chicago, ILLithograph printed by Albert Berger, Vienna. This design "was considered very advanced in 1899, with its large scale portrayal of the motif and the almost complete renunciation of interior drawing. The silhouette of the body is in mysterious contrast to the realistically portrayed head and hands. The unwavering gaze of the woman underlines the symbolism of the design: the Norn [ancient Norse goddess of fate] with the hour-glass and snake-ring embodies the eternal circle of life and the running out of time" (Vienna Secession, Denscher, p. 45). As the poster was originally used in 1899, the waning sand in the hourglass quite naturally can be assumed to be the coming of the end of the century. KOLOMAN MOSER: Instead of applying his flair and art education to paintings, Koloman Moser embodied the idea of Gesamt Kunstwerk (all-embracing art work) by designing architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries meant to coordinate every detail of an environment. His work transcended the imitative decorative arts of earlier eras and helped to define Modernism for generations to come. Moser achieved a remarkable balance between intellectual structure (often geometric) and hedonistic luxury. Collaborating with Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann, the artist was an editor and active contributor to Ver Sacrum, (Sacred Spring), the journal of the Viennese Secession that was so prized for its aesthetics and high quality production that it was considered a work of art. The magazine featured drawings and designs in the Jugendstil (Youth Style) along with literary contributions from distinguished writers from across Europe. It quickly disseminated both the spirit and the style of the Secession. In 1903 Moser and Hoffmann founded and led the Wiener Werkstatte (Viennese Workshop) a collective of artisans that produced elegant decorative arts items, not as industrial prototypes but for the purpose of sale to the public. The plan, as idealistic then as now, was to elevate the lives of consumers by means of beautiful and useful interior surroundings. Moser’s influence has endured throughout the century. His design sensibility is evident from the mid-century modern furniture of the 1950s and ‘60s to the psychedelic rock posters...Category
