Die Landesbildergalerie und Skulpturensammlung in Graz / von Wilhelm Suida.

Suida, Wilhelm, 1877-1959 · 1923 · Wien : Hölzel · 35 pictures

This is a 1923 catalogue of the provincial picture gallery and sculpture collection in Graz, written by art historian Wilhelm Suida and published in Vienna by Hölzel. It is a museum guide, so its plates record paintings held in the Joanneum for a scholarly and visitor audience. The pages show reproductions of old master paintings in halftone, several printed sideways, with a small numbered caption under each. A designer could take from them the dark, sculptural chiaroscuro of Baroque and Romantic figure painting, with drapery folds and heavy shadow.
