1907
Emil Cardinaux, a pioneer of the Swiss poster style, captures the thrill of winter sports in this dynamic 1907 illustration. A skier glides confidently toward the viewer in the foreground, dressed in a crisp white sweater and dark hood, leaving a trail of blue-tinted snow in their wake. Behind them, a lively scene unfolds with figures dancing or playing near a tent against a backdrop of stylized purple mountains. Created for the 'Thomasianum' student association in Bern, this piece showcases Cardinaux's signature ability to blend Art Nouveau elegance with the energetic spirit of the outdoors, proving that early 20th-century ski trips were just as stylish as they are today.
