Klingers Beethoven und die farbige Plastik der Griechen / Dr. Heinrich Bulle
A German art-historical study by Heinrich Bulle, published in Munich by F. Bruckmann in 1903, examining Max Klinger's marble bust of Beethoven against the painted sculpture of ancient Greece. Its photographs show plaster or marble heads and figures in plain halftone, with the Klinger bust shown from several angles and the Greek pieces including a painted-looking bearded head and a draped standing figure supporting a block. A designer might take from them the sculptural lighting, the rough-hewn surface of the Beethoven head, and the stiff frontal poses of archaic statuary.
