Graphic art of Czechoslovakia
A 1922 exhibition catalogue published by the Cleveland Museum of Art, compiled by Henry Jerry John and Ladislav Urban, presenting Czech graphic art prints for an American museum audience. The three plates are black-and-white reproductions captioned with artist names, showing a tropical scene with a twisted tree and clouds by M. Svabinsky, an interior with figures by Fr. Kupka from Les Estuaires, and a snowbound tree by V. Preissig. A designer can take from them the range of tonal values, from dense hatched foliage to open snowy white space, achieved in printmaking.
