“An icon of Austrian graphic design . . . [this image] depicts Hermes head in an elegantly abstracted
form in the red and white national colors . . . as if summarizing the best of the history of Austrian
posters Binder combines his contemporary language of design, with the reduction of colors, with the
Secessionist’s favorite symbol of antiquity all composed within the tall thin format often associated with
Secession posters” (Denscher p. 109). Binder 12, Denscher cover and p. 107, Wiener Plakate 126,
