LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) [TURF.] Group of 3 plates. 1909. Each 19 1/2x19 3/4 inches, 49 1/2x50 1/4 cm. [Kunst & Verlagsanstalt Graphia, Munich.] Condition varies, generally A-: light mat staining in margins; hinged to mat at top edge. Paper. Framed. Turf was a portfolio of twelve images depicting all aspects of horse racing: the public, the jockeys, track-side scenes and the horses themselves. With its flat colors and absence of outlines, it is reminiscent of the work of one of the Beggarstaff Brothers - William Nicholson. Hohlwein's images of horse racing are more dynamic than those of Nicholson, and the clever organization of the composition, with the dark ground and the tan sky, the silhouettes in the background, and the detail in front, is a brilliant example of how he could manipulate light and shadow. Hohlwein p. 132.
