Iulius Diez / Text von Rich. Braungart

Braungart, Richard, 1872-1963 · 1920 · München : D. und R. Bischoff · 108 pictures

This 1920 monograph on the Munich artist Julius Diez, with text by Richard Braungart, was published in Munich by D. und R. Bischoff for an art-interested readership. Its plates reproduce the artist's varied output: a sheet of pen sketches of mythological and fantastic figures, a classical wall painting of a framed scene with winged figures, a stylised knight holding an open book, and a dynamic fight between a centaur-like creature and a warrior, suggesting a designer might draw on their energetic line work, bold silhouettes, and mixing of antique and medieval motifs.

Diez, Julius, 1870-1957
