The art of Alexander von Salzmann (for the magazine JUGEND)

Alexander Salzmann, later Alexander von Salzmann or Alexandre de Salzmann painted between 1903 and appr. 1925 hundreds of works for the famous magazine JUGEND.
In this video only some of his works get presented.

Alexandre de Salzmann (1874-1934) was a painter, theater designer and stage lighting artist, who was well-known in Russia and Germany.

He was a friend of Kandinsky and Rilke and member of the Jugendstil group. He brought in innovations of lighting techniques, especially in his production of Debussy's "Pelleas and Melisande". He and his wife were introduced to Gurdjieff by Thomas de Hartmann in 1919, after which he renounced his professional career and joined Gurdjieff's group, studying with him and disseminating his teachings, especially in Fench speaking countries.

JUGEND was a cultural weekly publication. It soon became a style-setting icon that launched the German art nouveau movement, named Jugendstil after the magazine.
