"In 1896, the first year of the Jugendstil, or German Art Nouveau style,
Otto Fischer produced this striking poster of a man and a woman engrossed in looking
at a large print. No setting is indicated, aside from the woman's chair, and the
focus is entirely on the print which is turned slightly toward the viewer to reveal
the image of two girls in a landscape framed by a tree branch…The poster
is an advertisement for a printing house, Wilhelm Hoffmann's Studio for Modern
Posters in Dresden. It may have been for that reason that the artist dispensed
with the gallery setting so frequent in French posters of people looking at prints,
with which he was obviously familiar. The contrast in style between the poster
itself and the subordinate image is noteworthy. The former relies on bold colours
and flat planes, the latter on more intricate detail Clearly, artists with many
diverse styles were encouraged to bring their works to Hoffmann for printing"(Wolfe,
