Exhibition of paintings by Emile Branchard
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1923 by the Bourgeois Galleries in New York, presenting paintings by Emile Branchard, reproduced as halftone plates for viewers of the show. The two plates show a rolling landscape with a bare tree and distant hills, and a receding avenue of tall trunks with long cast shadows across open ground. A designer might take from them the flattened, shadowed tonal structure of early modernist landscape, with strong vertical rhythms and smooth gradients suited to muted graphic compositions.
