JOHANN VON STEIN (1896-1965). ROTTERDAMSCHE LLOYD / SUMATRA JAVA. 1931. 28½x18 inches, 72½x45¾ cm. Ned. Rotogravure, Leiden.
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
JOHANN VON STEIN (1896-1965) ROTTERDAMSCHE LLOYD / SUMATRA JAVA. 1931. 28½x18 inches, 72½x45¾ cm. Ned. Rotogravure, Leiden. Condition B: repaired tears, creases, abrasions and small replaced losses in margins and image; repaired pin holes in corners. Framed. Von Stein was a painter and poster designer who brought his own personal elegance to his works. Although his compositions are very strict, and here, monumental, they also contain a very appealing Art Deco touch. For this ocean liner, the artist's "cinematic Art Deco design places a frame around the Rotterdam Lloyd Steamship Balderan - a device that, with its series of towering vertical elements, cleverly and deftly pulls the viewer's gaze directly toward the ship. The eye glides from the airbrushed columns in the right-hand foreground directly to the silhouetted palm tree and onward to the Balderan's foremast, each component precisely proportioned to suit the slick diminishing perspective" (Crouse p. 231). One of several text variants, this is the Dutch version. Crouse p. 231, Modern Dutch Poster 92, Weallans p. 132, Schip & Affiche cover & 61, Plakat Kunst p. 128.

Johann Anton Willebrord von Stein (1886-1965), 'Sumatra Java Rotterdamsche Lloyd', signed 'V,STEIN' (upper right corner) and 'LANGCAT BUSSUM' (lower right) and 'NED. OCTROOI AANVR. NO. 58378' (lower left). Art Deco enamel advertising sign Rotterdamsche Lloyd, 96x62 cm. Executed by enamel factory Langcat, Bussum, the Netherlands, 1930s. Johann von Stein (1896–1965), poster designer, painter The illustration was also made as a poster and is considered to be one of the most beautiful naval posters of its time. This enamel version in such superb condition is extremely rare. The Art Deco style and geometric layout of the vertical and horizontal lines command attention: the viewer looks out from the mainland, cast in shadow, at the ship, a majestic giant rising up from the sea, glittering white in the tropical sun. The oceanic giant appears even larger due to its reflection on the smooth surface of the water. The Rotterdamsche Lloyd shipping line’s ship was named after the Baluran volcano on East Java. The Interbellum saw intensive traffic between the Netherlands and the now-former colony. Passengers would have been pampered on floating palaces such as the MS Baloeran, including by indigenous servants . In 1940, the Baloeran was confiscated by the Nazis, who used it as a hospital ship and renamed it ‘Strassburg’. In 1943, it was torpedoed by the English. It still lies at the bottom of the sea, 1.3 miles north of IJmuiden, the Netherlands. Frans Leidelmeijer Hardstone sculpture above the main entrance of the Lloyd Building dated 1932 at Korte Vijverberg 5 in The Hague. The statue is that of a distinguished Javanese woman looking into the horizon and holding a ship in her left hand; she is a creation of the artist H.A. van den Eynde (1869-1939). The statue symbolises "the Call of the East’ (‘Insulinde’s roepende stem’). Many travellers to the Dutch Indies or ‘Indiëgangers’ booked their passage from here. This former office of the shipping company Rotterdamsche Lloyd is now known as 'The House of Europe',
