Modern paintings by German and Austrian masters
A 1916 catalogue of modern German and Austrian paintings assembled by the conductor and collector Josef Stransky, privately printed in New York by The De Vinne Press for collectors and art students. The plates are monochrome halftone reproductions of paintings — dusk landscapes, avenues of trees, river banks, solitary figures — where detail dissolves into broad tonal masses, useful for smoky gradients, silhouetted foliage, and low-contrast atmospheric backgrounds.
