More about this artwork

The artwork prominently displays an exaggerated caricature of a man conducting, marked by a distinctly large profile and an elongated nose. He stands in front of a music stand holding a conductor’s baton, while a score is open before him. Surrounding him are various violins, all unique in design, presented as though part of the background architecture which resembles a mixture of organ pipes and gothic elements. Behind the man, a fantastical landscape of curly smoke trails rises from chimney tops amongst an array of industrial or castle-like buildings illuminated under a cryptic text floating in reverse in the sky.

Jan Toorop (1858–1928) was a 19-century Dutch-Javanese painter who extensively experimented with different artistic styles ranging from Realism, Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau to Pointillism. He was famous for using highly stylized slim figures and dynamic lines that were influenced by Indonesian motifs and curvilinear lines. His most famous poster artwork “Delft Salad Oil”, commissioned by The Dutch Oil Company, became so iconic that the Dutch Art Nouveau painting style is given the nickname "the salad oil style". Despite the fact that Toorop's expertise was in producing designs for marketing and advertisements, he also produced a number of fine art pieces that dealt with darker subjects including the human physche and emotions.
