Period
20th century
This lithograph poster by Dutch artist Wilhelm Ferdinand (Wim) Wynman (1897–1984) serves as an advertisement for a fine arts and crafts exhibition held at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The composition features a striking, stylized central figure rendered in monochromatic tones, characterized by expressive, angular anatomical lines that suggest fluid motion. The upper portion of the design incorporates dynamic, ribbon-like or abstract shapes accented with touches of orange, creating a sense of dramatic energy. The lower third of the poster is dedicated to typographic information printed in a distinctive, bold block-letter style characteristic of mid-century graphic design.
The text identifies the event as the 'Jaarbeurs v. Kunstnijverheid' at the Stedelijk Museum, indicating it took place during the month of November. The poster is signed in the plate by the artist, 'Wim Wyman.' The visible area of the print, described as the 'sight' dimension, measures 39 inches by 29 inches. This work exemplifies the aesthetic intersection of fine art illustration and promotional commercial printing during the artist's active period.
