LUDWIG HOHLWEIN WILHEM MOSER. 1909.
49x36 inches.
Condition B+: minor foxing, tears and creases in margins; tape adhered to back of top margin. Paper.
An image as succulent as it is well executed. For the Wilhelm Mozer delicatessen, Hohlwein has created an overloaded table of delectable comestibles: a red lobster, red roses, oranges, lemons, champagne and brandy against a dark purple background. 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 / Munich 141, Weill 181.
