Lucifer / Treurspel Van Vondel (1910). Richard Roland Holst (Dutch, 1868-1938). Poster. Roland Holst was a champion of Art Nouveau. Here we see the fallen archangel Lucifer creating the rift between good and evil. The poster is full of restraint. The structure is symmetrical and extremely simple. The color scheme is limited to two colors, yet achieves a richness through patterning. The white of the columns contrasts starkly with the black void engulfing Lucifer. In its somber simplicity Roland Holst has created a work of explosive power. -- source link
