Studien zur Kunst des Ostens. Josef Strzygowski zum sechzigsten Geburtstage von seinen Freunden und Schülern ;

Glück, Heinrich, 1889-1930, Strzygowski, Josef, 1862-1941 · 1923 · Wien und Hellerau, Avalun-Verlag · 32 pictures

A 1923 Festschrift published in Vienna and Hellerau by the Avalun-Verlag, edited by Heinrich Glück and assembled by friends and students for the art historian Josef Strzygowski's sixtieth birthday, covering art and architecture of the East. The plates are black-and-white photographs of carved architectural ornament, relief panels, a bronze figure and vaulted interiors. A designer might draw on the dense interlaced scroll and vine carving, the stylised figure reliefs and the arched brick ornament as source motifs for pattern and surface work.
