Katalog der ... Ausstellung der Berliner Secession, Berlin
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1899 by the Berliner Secession, a German artists' association, published in Berlin by P. Cassirer for visitors to its show of German art. Its pictures are loose black-and-white line drawings with bold ink masses, showing a seated woman tending a reclining figure, a woman in a striped crinoline gown, a crouching figure, and a small profile of a woman in a long coat. A designer might take from them the economy of hatched shadow and the confident, sketchy contour line of turn-of-the-century German graphic work.
