Woman & Snake - Art Nouveau - Jugend Art Poster
Jugend Magazine was a famous German weekly publication that launched the German Art Nouveau movement known as "Jugendstil," which means "youth style." The magazine was started in 1896 by journalist George Hirth, one of the most influential thinkers in Munich at the turn of the 19th century. It was widely popular and featured the key artists of the Art Nouveau era.
This image is a reproduction of the cover art for the 1898, No. 48 issue of Jugend Magazine, created by prominent artist-illustrator Hans Christiansen. Hans Christiansen is considered to be one of the most important Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) artists. This illustration portrays a woman with a gigantic red serpent encircling her. Both the snake and the woman are right at home with the arrangement.
The psychedelic posters of the sixties were directly inspired by the this period in art. This is apparent in this artwork, which looks like an album cover from 1969. The sizzling vertical waves about the snake and women come together at the top and spell out "Jugend," brilliantly using the negative space of the red background. ~ On the bottom of the illustration are the words "Münchner illustrierte Wochenschrift fur Kunst und Leben" which means "Munich Illustrated Weekly Magazine for Art and Life."
This is a very rare illustration, and we are happy to be able to present you with this reproduction. ~ It is available as a poster or a canvas print. Framing is also available.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
