Der Expressionismus / Paul Fechter.

Fechter, Paul, 1880-1958 · 1919 · München : R. Piper · 33 pictures

Der Expressionismus is a 1919 art-history survey by Paul Fechter, published in Munich by R. Piper, for German readers interested in modern art. Its plates reproduce expressionist and related modernist paintings and prints in black and white, with figures rendered in heavy distortion, flattened planes and angular, faceted forms. A designer could draw on their bold graphic contrast, simplified figure shapes and geometric fragmentation for posters or editorial layouts.
