About the Item

Posinsky is an original modern rare book illustrated written by Carl Sternheim (Lipsia, 1878 – Ixelles, 1942) and illustrated by Rudolf Grossmann (Freiburg, 1882 - Freiburg, 1941) in 1917. Original First Edition. Published by Heinrich Hochstim, Berlin. Format: small 8°. The book includes 65 pages with Seven full page Lithographs, cover included. Good conditions. Rudolf Grossmann (Freiburg, 1882 - Freiburg, 1941) was a German painter and graphic artist. He is particularly well known for his portrait drawings of famous contemporary figures. With his friend, Jules Pascin, he travelled to Belgium and Holland. Later study trips took him to Northern and Southern France, then to Vienna, Budapest and Stockholm. In 1910, he stayed briefly in Berlin, then continued his travels; this time to Engadin (near Munich), the Tegernsee and Italy, where he lived with his friend, Hans Purrmann. Upon returning to Germany, he lived in Berlin; creating book illustrations and portraits of celebrities, many of which were featured in the satirical magazine Simplicissimus. In 1928, he became a Professor at the Royal School of Art. He was also a member of the Berlin Secession and the Deutscher Künstlerbund. After Adolf Hitler's rise to power, in 1934, he was dismissed from his professorship and retired to his hometown. Under the National Socialist government, his works were declared to be "degenerate art" and 206 of them were confiscated.
