Der bildhauer Joseph Thorak
A 1929 German monograph on the Austrian sculptor Joseph Thorak, published in Berlin-Frohnau by J. J. Otten with an introduction by Wilhelm von Bode, presenting the artist's figure and head sculptures in sepia photographic plates. The pictures show rough-modelled plaster or bronze-toned figures photographed against plain backgrounds, with soft tonal gradations and textured surfaces a designer could draw on for figure studies, sculptural lighting, or pared-down portrait compositions.
