THOMAS THEODORE HEINE ZEIT IM BILD. 333/4x241/2 inches. Vereingte druckereien und Kunstanstalten, Munich. Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds. Thomas Heine, a genius caricaturist and designer was often referred to, with good reason, as "the German Lautrec." Along with the author Ludwig Thomas and the publisher Albert Langen, Heine help found the influential German satiric magazine Simplicissimus. He was also involved in many different projects that related to an artist's freedom of expression and creation. He was a member of the 11 Scharfrichters (The Eleven Executioners) which was an avant-garde cabaret, and he also designed posters for other progressive periodicals. Here a black horse with a black and white clock on its side is leaping into the air; against an orange background.
