Chinesische Kleinbildnerei in Steatit / Karl With.

With, Karl, 1891-1980 · 1926 · Oldenburg i. O. : Gerhard Stalling Verlag · 34 pictures

Karl With's 1926 German study of small Chinese carved figurines in soapstone, published by Gerhard Stalling in Oldenburg, aimed at art historians and collectors of Chinese sculpture. The four photographs show standing robed figures photographed plainly against grey backgrounds, with carved drapery folds, expressive faces and details of bases that a designer could study for sculptural rhythm and the handling of flowing cloth.
