12inch x 18inch Poster This poster by Robbe shows the influence of Japanese wood block prints on the Art Nouveau movement. The two women, as if halted in the moment, are pointing to a kerosene lamp that lays claim to a more advanced and safer technology. The landscape and the sky are very Japanese in flavor...as is the hairstyle of the central figure. The light seems to illuminate the entire landscape.
