More about this artwork

Step into the world of Swiss symbolist Ferdinand Hodler with this striking poster for his 1917 exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zürich. Created for the event held from June 14 to August 5, Hodler's artwork displays a dynamic and expressive figure, which encapsulates his unique approach to symbolism and art nouveau.In the painting, we see a semi-nude male figure, tensely gripping a long, red pole that extends beyond the frame. This vigorous pose conveys a sense of movement and intensity. The figure’s dramatic facial expression, along with the stark, plain background, focuses the viewer’s attention squarely on the muscular and expressive tension in the figure’s body. Hodler’s use of drawing with minimal colors enhances the emotional impact of the piece, making the red of the pole and the figure's headband stand out vividly against the monochromatic tones.This piece is not only a testament to Hodler's artistic skills but also acts as an inviting promotional tool for the exhibition. It perfectly encapsulates the power and dynamic beauty characteristic of Hodler's work, inviting viewers to explore his artistry further at the Kunsthaus Zürich.

Ferdinand Hodler (March 14, 1853 – May 19, 1918) was one of the best-known Swiss painters of the nineteenth century. His early works were portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings in a realistic style. Later, he adopted a personal form of symbolism which he called "parallelism".
