Catalogue of an exhibition of contemporary German graphic art / with an introduction by Martin Birnbaum

Photographische Gesellschaft, Berlin · 1912 · New York : Berlin Photographic Co. · 2 pictures

An exhibition catalogue of contemporary German graphic art, published in New York by the Berlin Photographic Company in 1912 with an introduction by Martin Birnbaum, made for American collectors and dealers. Its two pictures are head-and-shoulders portraits of male artists: one a bearded painter in a woodcut-like reproduction holding a palette before a landscape, the other a seated bearded man in a light suit shown in soft tonal photographic halftone. A designer might take the tonal range and dignified, direct poses as models for period portraiture.
