Willy Sluiter (1873-1949) - Ontwerp reclame affiche Champagne Louis Roederer

Willy Sluiter (1873-1949)

Very beautiful ink drawing, hand-signed. Design sketch for an advertising poster for Champagne Louis Roederer (founded in 1766, still in existence, still available at Gall en Gall). Transparent, thin browned paper with edge damage. Depending on personal preference, the work can be glued onto a backing to make it look tighter again. Nice size. Dimensions of the work: 30 x 26 cm. Frame size: 44 by 54 cm.

Jan Willem (Willy) Sluiter (Amersfoort, May 24, 1873 – The Hague, May 22, 1949) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, and graphic designer.
Sluiter was a student at the Rotterdam Academy from 1891 to 1894, and then he took lessons at the Hague Academy. Sluiter was a member of several art societies, including Pictura in Dordrecht, Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam, and Pulchri Studio in The Hague. He lived and worked in Zwijndrecht, Dordrecht, and Rotterdam until 1894. Afterwards, from 1894 to 1897, he was in Scheveningen, and from 1901 to 1910, in Katwijk. In 1910, he settled in Laren and remained there until 1916, when he moved to The Hague.
He developed into a painter and draftsman of political prints, created posters, executed advertising commissions, and was also a book cover designer. The subjects of Sluiter's work often came from the beach and fishing life, but he was also a sought-after portrait painter in the 'higher circles.' The offered work is characteristic of Sluiter: a very beautiful design for an advertisement with his unique, distinctive humor.

At the same time, a pen drawing by Willy Sluiter for an advertisement poster is also offered.
