Impressionismus und Expressionismus : eine Einführung in das Wesen der neuen Kunst
A 1919 German introduction to modern art by art historian Franz Landsberger, published in Leipzig by Klinkhardt & Biermann, explaining Impressionism and Expressionism to a general readership. The pictures are reproductions of paintings and drawings printed as plates, several rotated sideways on the page: a dense etched landscape of trees, a dark interior with a kneeling figure and a Madonna, a reclining nude, and a sketch of two hands. A designer might take from them the broad tonal blacks, loose gestural hatching and angular figure distortion typical of early modern German printing.
