About the Item

Lucian Bernhard was an award-winning graphic, interior, and typography designer and highly influential to the world of 20th century graphic and poster design. His presentation of stark, saturated color and simplified imagery were a sharp contrast from the highly embellished and naturalistic imagery of the Art Nouveau period he emerged from. His masterful use of these elements formed the perfect union between art and commercial advertisement. Stone lithograph for Lucian Bernhard’s Bosch-Licht, an advertisement for automobile headlights. Published by Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin, circa 1913. Notable museum collections containing this work include: Museum of Modern Art, New York City (Large-format version) Notable museum collections featuring works by Lucian Bernhard include: Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
