LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) HERRSCHING / KERAMISCHE WERKSTATTEN. 1910.
44x31 inches, 104x79 cm. G. Schuh, Munich.
Condition A-: creases and wrinkles in margins and image. Paper. Matted and framed.
From 1908 to 1914, the Munich-Herrsching Ceramic Works was a prominent producer of Jugendstil pottery. Hohlwein's graphic still life with three vases is an exceptional design in which the window is reflected in the vessels, an effect which Hohlwein achieves using the white of the paper. The bold image is further strengthened by the organization of the typography which is firmly aligned with the width of the image. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 32, Hohlwein / Munich p. 156, DFP III 1364, MOMA 82.1990.
