Le Musée d'Aix-en-Provence
A 1921 Paris catalogue of the Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence, written by Edouard Aude and published by H. Laurens, presenting the museum's art collection through halftone photographs of sculpture and painting. The four pictures show a marble or plaster bust of a young woman with braided hair, a sculpted bust turned on its side, a half-length painted portrait of a woman raising a hand to her face, and a dark full-length portrait of an elderly man in a long cloak. A designer might take from them the soft tonal gradations of old halftone reproduction and the quiet, pensive poses of classical portraiture.
