Representing the Fine Arts, she playfully uses the devil's tail as a paintbrush, while he remains engrossed in reading his magazine. The unusual imagery, flowing lines and restrained colours are characteristic of the emerging German Jugendstil movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Theodor Heine (1867–1948) was one of Germany's most influential illustrators and graphic artists, best known for his pioneering contributions to Simplicissimus. His distinctive combination of satire, humour and bold graphic design helped establish the magazine's visual identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe image bears Heine's printed signature to the lower left, together with the original publisher's details and the printer's credit for Dr. C. Wolf \u0026amp; Sohn, Munich.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented in a gold-tone frame with age-related surface wear and scratches. The print displays some toning and minor marks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFramed dimensions: 42 × 31 cm (16.5 × 12.2 inches).","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57003369103746,"sku":"26-10-26-Y-25-S-TL","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8804071647_og0k.jpg?v=1793192062","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/thomas-theodor-heine-simplicissimus-colour-lithograph-1896-german-art-nouveau-devil-poster-framed","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
