Max Klinger: Intermezzos, Opus IV

Max Klinger: Intermezzos, Opus IV  (Intermezzi, Opus IV) was first published 1881.

The Opus IV offers a diverse selection of amusements, like brief comedic interludes at the opera. The portfolio highlights the capriciousness of life and includes a sequence of four prints on the mythological lives of centaurs, four prints based on Hans Jakob Christoph von Grimmelshausen's seventeenth-century tale The Adventurous Simplicissimus, and four individual compositions further elaborating Klinger's favored themes of desire, death, and fantasy. The twelve prints vary in size and format, but all reveal sublime vistas and demonstrate Klinger's mastery of the vocabulary of Romantic landscapes and lessons he learned through studying Japanese prints.

Klinger dedicated the portfolio to engraver and art dealer Hermann Sagert, who had encouraged him to disseminate his work more broadly by making prints. It also honors the composer Robert Schumann, whose musical Intermezzi are opus four in his own career.

Constantinople painted by Warwick Goble, Part 1.

Two weeks ago we presented the illustrations of Warwick Goble's The Book of Fairy Poetry. Constantinople painted by the same artist shows a quite another side of his ability. The first edition was published by A. & C. Black, London, 1906.
