Die französische Malerei seit 1914

Grautoff, Otto, 1876-1937 · 1921 · Berlin : Mauritius-Verlag · 17 pictures

A 1921 Berlin survey of French painting since 1914 by the art writer Otto Grautoff, published by Mauritius-Verlag as an art-historical reference for German readers. Its reproductions are grey halftone plates of modernist canvases, including a pale stylised face beside a white ribbon, a rotated scene of seated figures with raised arms, and a cubist-style angular figure in a city of stacked windows, which suggest flattened planes, interlocking forms and restrained tonal contrast for graphic work.
