A quick count just now came up with eleven, mainly the Japanese period, including 'Rickshaw drivers' and 'Temple garden in Kyoto'. But the value of the book lies in the prints we don't see and the standard of their reproduction. Rudolf Kalvach, for instance, gets a well-deserved showing. I didn't include any Orlik here because the images are generally disseminated across the internet.Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-69186591786907420622016-06-20T03:35:35.000+01:002016-06-20T03:35:35.000+01:00What prints of Emil Orlik are in the exhibition/bo...What prints of Emil Orlik are in the exhibition/book?Darrel C.

I do have a late German Secession style linocut from 1919 that was sent from Berlin. Exactly where Secession morphs into art deco.Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-3763772951153478292016-06-19T19:50:10.178+01:002016-06-19T19:50:10.178+01:00Yes, Charles, I feel a bit privileged to be able t...Yes, Charles, I feel a bit privileged to be able to see Thiemann in Dachau and Jungnickel in Frankfurt. Then again, I would have loved to see Slater in Eastbourne at the time...can't have everything.<br />As far as Jungnickel is concerned: I have always liked some of his prints! There is a postcard designed by him that has been hanging in my study just above my desk for the last six or seven years: "Friedensfeier 1911. Kornblumentag". Do you happen to know this design? It is absolutely stunning!<br /><br />best,<br /><br />Klaus Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-28825704590017611912016-06-18T12:24:26.655+01:002016-06-18T12:24:26.655+01:00I'm glad to see you picked this up straightawa...I'm glad to see you picked this up straightaway, Klaus. The official resurgence of interest in colour woodcut in Germany and Austria is overdue, as the Schirn admits, and lags well behind the long-time interest of collectors such as yourself. But it will be fascinating to see the whole thing placed in context. <br /><br />Also pleased to notice your gradual conversion to little Ludwig. I envy you the opportunity of going to see him for yourself. I thought about it myself but I could probably buy myself a Jungnickel for what a trip to Frankfurt might cost me!Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-46088348713738492682016-06-18T11:27:26.170+01:002016-06-18T11:27:26.170+01:00Hi Charles,
your post truly makes my mouth water,...Hi Charles,<br /><br />your post truly makes my mouth water, I will definitely go to Frankfurt! I wasn't aware of this exhibition, so thanks for letting me know.<br />I noticed your high esteem for Jungnickel in the past, and I must say that I am not sure if I would see him as the most important colour woodcut artist of that period. Having said that, the smoking cricket is a triumph of wit and design, indeed! Very modern, I wasn't really aware of this side of him, I must admit.<br /><br />KlausAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
