About the Item

Demaskiert (Unmasked), Color Lithograph from Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten, c1895 This engaging color lithograph titled "Demaskiert" (Unmasked) was created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century. Published around 1895 by Richard Bong in Berlin, it appears in the landmark collection *Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten* (Modern Art in Master Woodcuts) – a remarkable compilation of contemporary artworks reproduced in the graphic arts of the era. "Demaskiert" captures a striking moment of revelation: a masked figure, their hidden identity laid bare. The lithograph’s expressive lines and bold use of color exemplify the vibrant *Jugendstil* (Art Nouveau) sensibility that was flourishing across Europe at the end of the 19th century. With its focus on mood, gesture, and the psychology of its subject, the image carries a timeless quality that still resonates with viewers today. The work stands out for its dynamic interplay of dark and light, as well as the subtle texture created through careful lithographic shading. This refined yet dramatic effect is typical of the sophisticated illustration and printing techniques of the period, which brought the vibrant energy of contemporary art into the reach of collectors and connoisseurs. As part of *Moderne Kunst in Meister-Holzschnitten*, this lithograph reflects the publication’s mission to document and disseminate the finest examples of modern European art. For collectors of *Jugendstil* graphics or 19th-century German prints, "Demaskiert" represents both a fascinating cultural artifact and a visually striking addition to any collection. Condition Report: This color lithograph remains in good antique condition, with mild age-related toning and some faint foxing. The image itself is clear and fresh, preserving its original charm and striking color palette. Tips for framing: For a balanced look, use a neutral matting in light cream or warm beige. A slim black or dark wooden frame will draw out the print’s expressive lines and vibrant color contrast, giving it a classic and stylish presentation.
