Gustav Klimt's 1898 poster for the first Vienna Secession exhibition. A striking example of Art Nouveau, blending classical mythology with modern design, perfect for adding a touch of Viennese elegance to your home.
This striking poster, designed by Gustav Klimt in 1898, announced the first exhibition of the Vienna Secession. The Secession, formed in 1897 by Klimt and other Austrian artists, broke away from the conservative artistic establishment to embrace modern styles. The poster exemplifies the Secession's blend of symbolism and Art Nouveau aesthetics. The upper register depicts Theseus battling the Minotaur, a classical myth symbolising the Secession's fight against traditional art. A figure in classical Greek armour, holding a spear and shield, stands guard on the right. The lower portion features bold typography announcing the exhibition details. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by ochre, black, and red, typical of the Secession's preference for elegant simplicity over ostentation. As a fine art print, this poster brings a touch of Viennese modernism to any interior. Its historical significance and visual impact make it a compelling statement piece, ideal for those who appreciate art with a story to tell. The poster's clean lines and balanced composition ensure it complements both contemporary and traditional decor.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
