Wilhelm ListThe Thirst, Plate 52 from Gerlach's Allegorien, Vienna Secession lithograph1897
1897
About the Item
Wilhelm List, a friend and follower of Gustav Klimt, was a founder and leading member of the Vienna Secession and contributor to its official magazine, Ver Sacrum. List’s plate ‘The Thirst’ for Gerlach’s Allegorien features a figure seated amidst flourishing grape vines, quenching her companion’s thirst with their juice.
Allegorien-Neue Folge was a serialized folio published in installments between 1895 and 1900. Martin Gerlach, its publisher, was inspired by the rise of modernist design in Vienna and selected those who were demonstrating a command of the style to contribute works to the series and selected the most exciting and innovative artists of the region to contribute works to the series, including Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Carl Otto Czeschka. Each plate explores a different theme or collection of topics, such as dance, astronomy, electricity, and graphic arts, which brought a new aesthetic of design to the traditional allegory genre.
Lithograph of Wilhelm Franz List’s Der Durst (The Thirst), published as Plate 52 in Gerlach’s Allegorien by Gerlach & Schenk, Vienna. This work is printed with dense, shimmering gold ink details throughout the main image and design element. The small-format lithographs created at this time were printed using rich, dense, lead inks.
