About the Item

Die sage von Sankt Julian dem Gastfreien is an original modern rare book written by Gustave Flaubert and illustrated by Max Kaus (1891 - 1977) in 1919. Original First Edition / Second state of lithographs. Published by Kiepenheuer, Berlin/Potsdam. Format: Small 4°. The book includes 46 pages with 12 full page lithographs. Mint conditions. Max Kaus (1891 - 1977), a German "second generation" expressionist painter and graphic artist. He was also influential as a university level teacher and as deputy director at the Academy for visual arts ("Hochschule für Bildende Künste" / HfbK) in the city at that time. Max Kaus had his first solo exhibition in 1919, at the Ferdinand Möller gallery. The next year he met up with Otto Mueller and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff at the modernist so-called "Freie Sezession", and became a member of the group, his work regularly featuring in subsequent "Freie Sezession" exhibitions. In 1923 he married the porcelain artist Gertrud Kant (1893-1944). In 1926 Kaus accepted a professorship, teaching landscape art at the Kunstgewerbe- und Handwerkerschule (loosely, "Arts and Crafts academy") in Berlin. It was for his landscape works that he was (and remains) principally recognised. He drew inspiration from his travels within Germany and in the recently reconfigured state of Austria, as well as in northern Italy. Earlier he had worked extensively on portraiture. During the immediate post-war period Kaus produced a number of portraits of haggard, somehow bizarrely lost young men, which showed every sign of drawing inspiration from the works produced ten years earlier by Heckel and, above all Kirchner. Unfortunately this vision of German Expressionism in art was no longer so fashionable, however.
