Max Klinger als Bildhauer
Max Klinger als Bildhauer is a German monograph on the sculptor Max Klinger, written by Georg Treu and published in Leipzig and Berlin by E.A. Seemann in 1900 for an art-historical readership. Its photographs show Klinger's marble and plaster figures, a female nude crouched on a rough stone base, a carved head with a coiled hairstyle on a stepped pedestal, and a kneeling back view against a dark ground, lit to bring out the modelling of skin and stone. A designer could take from them the strength of carved stone surfaces and the close tonal range of black-and-white sculpture photography.
