About this Item

Josef Maria Auchentaller Illustrated Cover from Ver Sacrum, Heft 8, 1901 Wonderful Print on the cover of this Ver Sacrum issue: "Buchdecke" (Book Cover), repeated from the illustration on page 150 of the same issue (dedicated to Auchentaller s work): "Linen ornamentation with black circles", from a Pen and Ink drawing by Auchentaller. From the fourth year of the renowned art journal Ver Sacrum; Published by the Association of Visual Artists, Vienna, Austria, 1901. This single sheet measures approximately 24 cm. x 25 cm. Ver Sacrum ("Sacred Spring" in Latin) was the official magazine communicating the artistic and creative ideals of the Vienna Secession. Conceived and founded by Gustav Klimt and Max Kurzweil, the periodical had a six-year run from 1898 through 1903 and comprised drawings and graphic designs in the style of the Secession movement together with literary contributions from distinguished European writers. The magazine is renowned for its contribution to typography, illustration, and graphic design; and was responsible for reshaping ideas about and influencing magazine (and magazine advertising) and book design to the present day. . Paper is lightly browned and toned around the edges, edges with a few slight bumps, soiling in and around the image, appears to have some offsetting, still a very attractive print in very good condition.
