LUDWIG HOLWEIN WILHELM MOZER. 1909.
46x35 inches. G. Schuh, Munich.
Condition B+: minor creases and tears in left and right margins; repaired tears, abrasions and minor creases in image; wooden dowels affixed to top and bottom margins.
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; 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.
