About the artwork
Dated 1912, "Landauer Autos Carl Merkle Stuttgart" is an artwork by Ludwig Hohlwein. The catalogue places it in Vintage Posters. The format is landscape. Vintage Posters, a short history: Posters announced theatre, travel, products, and events, combining image and lettering to be read at a glance from the street. Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and later modernist design each left a recognisable poster style. About the period around 1912: Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design.
"Landauer Autos Carl Merkle Stuttgart" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Vintage posters bring character, graphic texture, and a collected feel to the room, while pairing easily with both contemporary furniture and eclectic styling. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
