LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) WILHELM MOZER. 1909.
48 3/4x36 1/4 inches, 123 3/4x92 cm. G. Schuh & Cie., Munich.
Condition B+: repaired tears, minor losses, creases and abrasions in margins; creases in image; light water stain in lower left corner.
An image as succulent as it is well-executed. For the Wilhelm Mozer delicatessen and food store, Hohlwein has created an overloaded table of delectable comestibles: lobster, roses, oranges, lemons, champagne, caviar and brandy. The table is so bountifully laden that, like a cornucopia, it runneth over, and Hohlwein captures this sense of plenty by having the food actually extend past the boundaries of the borders, as if there weren't enough room to hold it all. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 23, DFP-III 1357, Hohlwein / Munich 141, Weill 181, The Poster 77.
