Entwickelungsgeschichte der modernen Kunst : vergleichende Betrachtung der bildenen Künste, als Beitrag zu einer neuen Aesthetik
Entwickelungsgeschichte der modernen Kunst is a 1904 art-historical survey by critic Julius Meier-Graefe, published in Stuttgart by J. Hoffmann, written for readers interested in modern painting and aesthetics. Its plates reproduce individual paintings and prints, each captioned with artist, title, and date, in a plain halftone layout. The pictures show how late nineteenth-century artists handled seaside work, dense crowds, and decorative flat color, which a designer could study for composition and tonal structure.
