ARTIST: LEONHARD F. W. FRIES (1881-1965) SIZE: 36 5/8 x 28 in./93 x 71 cm PRINTER: Abt. Rotochrom, Berlin DESCRIPTION: With only three colors, Fries creates an alluring scene led by a coquettish bather and her casually dangling Problem cigarette. The company was founded by Berliner Szlama Rochmann in 1889; he later enlisted top posterists—including Louis Oppenheim, Ernst Dryden, Hans Rudi Erdt, and Lucian Bernhard—to advertise the product, leading to some notable success. When Rochmann died in 1925, he left the company to his two sons, who unfortunately didn’t fare as well with the company: a bad harvest of Turkish tobacco and the onset of the Great Depression forced the business to close.
