Pictured on the poster are Indonesian artifacts being exhibited, specifically Wayang shadow puppets (a form of puppet theater art found in southeast Asia, sometimes combined with human performers). This poster features art by Johan Thorn Prikker. Note that Johan Thorn Prikker is considered among the most important proponents of the Dutch Art Nouveau. While maintaining a career as a symbolist painter, he also produced textile designs, posters, illustration, mosaics, mural paintings, furniture, and stained glass windows. Thorn Prikker studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague from 1883 to 1887. After leaving the school, he joined a group of avant garde artists who produced radically new paintings combining flat, distorted forms, curvilinear movement, somber subject matter, and complex symbolism. From 1900 to 1902 he painted mural decorations including a frieze in the art nouveau style at the Leuring house in The Hague. Later he moved to Germany where he taught at several prestigious schools. Artist: Johan Thorn Prikker Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some tiny tears and 1 to 2" tears in the top and bottom border with a 4" tear in the left of the bottom border. Someone put a few small pieces of tape on the back of a few of the tears, but otherwise did not restoration to the poster. After a simple linenbacking it should display well.
