JOSEF MÜLLER-BROCKMANN (1914-1996) [FILM MAKER AND DANCING WOMAN.] Ink and watercolor drawing.
6x10 1/4 inches, 15 1/4x26 cm.
Condition B+: foxing in image; handwriting in pencil on verso. Printed on card.
This drawing shows an unknown side of Müller-Brockmann's talent; the artist as a whimsical illustrator. The nature and color of the drawing, likely an illustration for a magazine, are atypical of the artist's output. It is such a departure from his normal typographic and photomontage work, that it would be hard to identify as his were it not for an ink stamp on the verso reading, "Entwurf : J. Müller-Brockmann."
