Werkformen deutscher Kunst

Sauerlandt, Max · 1926 · 74 pictures

Werkformen deutscher Kunst is a 1926 German art book by Max Sauerlandt, held by Heidelberg University Library, presenting plates of German decorative metalwork. The four pictured vessels, a lidded cylindrical caddy, a two-handled covered urn, a chained tankard with relief figures and a jug with a frieze of combat, are photographed head-on against plain grey backdrops. A designer could take from them the period handling of repoussé relief, strapwork and figural bands on silver and pewter forms.
