Franz Laskoff (1869-1921) was born in Poland in 1869. As a young man Laskoff studied in Strasbourg, Paris and London. It was there that he found the greatest influences on his style, as his work with flat colours was certainly inspired by Aubrey Beardsley and the Beggarstaff Brothers.
When he arrived in Italy in 1900 he went straight to work for Ricordi, and began producing exceptional posters for the company's largest accounts.
His style was dramatically different from his contemporary counterparts at Ricordi, Adolfo Hohenstein and Leopoldo Metlicovitz. Unlike the exuberant Liberty Style, Laskoff employs minimal outlining and minimal decorative effects, and uses flat colours to design strong images.
