Beschreibung
Four volumes in a slipcase Emil Orlik (1870-1932) was a painter, graphic artist, photographer, medallion maker, and craftsman: an all-round talent. A decisive factor in his artistic development was a trip to Japan in 1900-01, during which he learned the art of woodcarving from Japanese masters. He was a member of the Secession in Vienna, and was appointed in 1904 as a professor in Berlin, where he created designs for stage sets and costumes for Max Reinhardt. His portraits of personalities from art, theater, music, literature, film, cabaret, and politics are a kaleidoscope of the intellectual, cultural, and economic life of the Weimar Republic. Orliks extensive graphic oeuvrewoodcuts, etchings, and lithographshas now been documented in detail for the first time and is presented in this catalogue raisonné. - The first catalogue raisonné of Emil Orliks extensive graphic oeuvre (ca. 2,300 works) Bibliophile editionfour volumes, embossed linen cover, in a covered slipcase Look inside Volume I Volume II Volume III Volume IV
