Bildwerke Ost- und Südasiens aus der Sammlung Yi Yuan, mit begleitendem Text von Karl With.
Bildwerke Ost- und Südasiens aus der Sammlung Yi Yuan is a 1924 photographic plate book published in Basel by B. Schwabe, written by Karl With, documenting East and South Asian sculptures from the private Yi Yuan collection for collectors and art scholars. The four plates show carved stone heads and a seated figure photographed against plain grey backdrops with generous white margins. A designer might take the restrained studio lighting, soft grey tonal range and stone surface textures as a model for quiet, museum-style product or exhibition photography.
