Problem Cigarettes, 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Hans Rudi Erdt is a captivating snapshot of German society during the early 20th century. This stunning colour lithograph, now part of a private collection, showcases the intricate artistry and innovative graphic design of the Art Nouveau movement. In this striking poster, Erdt cleverly combines elements of advertising and fine art to promote cigarette smoking as a fashionable trend. The stylish smoker depicted wears a monocle, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement that was highly sought after in those times. With meticulous attention to detail, Erdt captures the essence of Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) with its flowing lines and ornate patterns. This print not only serves as an exquisite example of communication design but also offers insight into the cultural significance attached to tobacco products in Belle Époque Germany. It represents an era when cigarettes were seen as fashion accessories rather than health hazards. Erdt's work reflects the spirit of Wiener Secession and Stile Liberty movements prevalent at that time. By seamlessly blending modern style with traditional aesthetics, he creates a visual masterpiece that stands as testament to his artistic prowess. As we admire this piece from afar today, it transports us back to fin de siècle Europe - an era where art met commerce in harmony and innovation flourished within every stroke.
