Hi Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to disappoint you, but 5 (Leo Gestel, Chris Lebeau, R. Roland Holst, Johan Thorn Prikker, Jac. Jongert)of the 8 posters you show are by Dutch artists and they are not considered to belong either to the German or Wiener Secession, although their style is somewhat similar.
With kind regards, Maurits Vroom (Bubb Kuyper Auctions, Haarlem Netherlands).
