Katalog der ... Ausstellung der Berliner Secession, Berlin
An exhibition catalogue issued in 1899 in Berlin by the Berliner Secession, a group of progressive German painters, published by P. Cassirer for visitors to its show. The plates are rotated halftone reproductions of paintings, including J. L. Forain's In den Kulissen, Isaac Israels' Dameyportrait, Fritz von Uhde's In Garten and Wilhelm Trübner's Urteil des Paris. Designers can take from them the loose, sketchy brushwork and dark, low-key tonal range typical of turn-of-the-century German and French painting.
