Katalog der ... Ausstellung der Berliner Secession, Berlin
This is a catalogue of the Berlin Secession's exhibition, published in Berlin by P. Cassirer in 1899 for visitors to a German modern-art show. Its plates reproduce paintings and drawings by Cézanne, Brevir, Thoma and others, printed as sparse grey halftones with captions beneath each image. A designer could take from them the loose, tonal figure work and the plain, uncluttered page layout of turn-of-century German modernism.
