Graphik der Gegenwart : Max Liebermann, Hans Meid, Anders Zorn, Max Slevogt, Emil Orlik, Ernst Stern, Lesser Ury, Käthe Kollwitz, Heinrich Zille
This 1900 Berlin volume from J. Singer Verlag gathers reproductions of contemporary German printmaking by artists including Max Liebermann, Anders Zorn, Käthe Kollwitz and Heinrich Zille, with text by Philip Kaplan. Its etchings and drypoints show dancers at a ball, a figure in a theatrical gesture, a painter with his palette, and a crowd around a cart; a designer might take their loose, scratchy hatching and strong dark-light contrasts as models for expressive tonal work.
