KNUT HANSEN (1876-1926) PASSAGE THEATER. 1901.

54 1/4x36 7/8 inches. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition A-: restoration in corners and image. Two sheets. Hansen was Danish by birth, but spent a good part of his career in Berlin working primarily for cabarets and theaters. He was the house designer for the Apollo, a large varieté hall, for whom he created a strong graphic identity, and seemed also to have accepted commissions from the near-by Passage Theater, another music hall. To advertise April's theatrical program, Hansen used the fickle spring weather as his inspiration, showing two Pierrots, one holding an umbrella and the other watching the sun. Pierrots were popular in Berlin at that time, thanks to the triumph of the French mime Severin, who dressed in a similar costume. German critics of the time saw a French influence in Hansen's style which today we can recognize as stylistically and artistically similar to that of Ibels. DFP III, 1178.
