WILHELM HARTZ (DATES UNKNOWN) INTERNATIONALE PHOTOGRAPHISCHE AUSSTELLUNG. 1909. 38x24 inches, 96 1/2x61 cm. Condition B: replaced top margin; restored losses, overpainting and creases in margins; creases in image. Hartz was active in Dresden, became a member of the Deutsche Werkbund in 1913, and was a professor in Düsseldorf. This classic image is his only known poster; with a peacock-like bird at the top, its wings spread, and well-organized typography beneath. The relationship between the image - which is far more Art Nouveau than photographic - and photography is unclear. DFP-III 1187.
