R. Hoch
Düsseldorfer Bühnenball by R. Hoch, German Art Deco marionette lithograph

c. 1912

About the Item

A marionette and a woman with a fantastic, geometric headdress promote a ball in Düsseldorf; the shadows create a dramatic effect. “The modern poster as we know it- large, colorful images printed in quantities on paper– is a relatively modern invention, coming to a recognizable form just before the close of the 19th century. While Paris was unquestionably the center of the world would have came to Poster Art at the opening of The Movement, by 1910 Germany had established itself as a landmark for groundbreaking graphic artists. With advances in lithography, German printers were creating some of the most powerful ink-on-paper works in Europe; the simple elegance of the German aesthetic combined with sophisticated printing techniques make the lithographed art posters of this era more kin to oil paintings than contemporary posters. “ -Quoted from Transcendent Luxury by Thomas Negovan (2016) This artwork is presented in archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

    By Alphonse Mucha
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Stone lithograph sepia plate of Hallowed Be Thy Name from Alphonse Mucha’s masterpiece of mysticism, Le Pater. Printed by F. Champenois, published by Henri Piazza in Paris in an edition of 510, 1899. “Le Pater is the perfect convergence of three important movements at the close of the 19th century: Art Nouveau, Mysticism, and Religion. Art Nouveau, through its respect and honor of Nature, promotes the idea of a spirit of energy coursing through all things–a tenet of Mysticism–that finds foundation in the traditions of Mucha's personal relationship with the imagery of Religion. Le Pater gave Mucha a venue to communicate his beliefs specifically through his unique approach to Art and the coded language he had been learning through his devotion to Masonic teachings. He combined the aesthetics of Medieval manuscripts...
