Item Overview

Description

ROBERT HAAS (1898- 1997) SECESSION. 1929.
33x21 inches, 83 1/2x53 cm. Secession, Wein.
Condition B+: vertical and horizontal folds; minor restoration along top edge; slight offsetting in image; writing on verso.
Haas worked as a graphic designer and a typographer. In the 1930s, he designed posters for both the Secession and the Hagenbund. Given his work designing sans-serif typefaces, it is not surprising that his posters are primarily typographic. In this beautifully balanced example of his graphic work, the lettering is masterfully hand-drawn. Austria and Germany 219.
