The Story Behind
Otto Eckmann's striking cover for "Jugend" magazine, issue No. 40 from October 3, 1896, is a quintessential example of German Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, after which the magazine itself was named. The illustration depicts a stylized scene of two women interacting with a potted plant, characterized by bold outlines, flat areas of color, and flowing, organic forms that define the movement. Eckmann, a leading figure in Jugendstil, masterfully blends graphic design with fine art, creating a harmonious and decorative composition. This iconic cover not only served its function as a magazine front but also stood as a manifesto for the aesthetic ideals of its time, emphasizing nature-inspired motifs and a departure from academic traditions, making it a significant piece for collectors of fin-de-siècle graphic design and early 20th-century art periodicals.
