Description
Organized by the Provincia di Milano in collaboration with cultural institutions, the exhibition formed part of a broader program of presentations in Italy during the period, including the important exhibition Gustav Klimt: 100 Disegni held in Bolzano (Castel Mareccio). Together, these exhibitions underscored a renewed scholarly and public interest in the graphic work of Viennese Secession and Expressionist artists, emphasizing drawing as a central medium of experimentation and expression.
The poster’s design is both bold and elegant: Kokoschka’s expressive figure study—rendered with nervous, searching line—anchors the composition, set against a warm-toned ground that contrasts with the stark black border and dynamic typography. The artist’s signature reproduced across the top adds a striking graphic element, reinforcing the immediacy and intensity of his draftsmanship.
Published by Mazzotta Editore, a leading Italian publisher of exhibition materials during the 1980s, this poster reflects the refined visual language of the pre-digital poster era, where typography and image were carefully balanced to convey both scholarly authority and aesthetic impact.
A compelling and historically resonant piece, this poster will appeal to collectors of modern European art, exhibition posters, and works related to the Viennese Secession and Expressionism.
