EDITORS COMMENTS
"Max Klinger's Preface I, plate one from A Life, 1884, is a captivating work of art that transports viewers to the heart of Symbolist movement in late 19th century Germany. This stunning print, created through a combination of etching with aquatint roulette and drypoint in black and red ink on ivory china paper laid down on cream laid paper, showcases Klinger's mastery of the medium. At the center of the composition stands a naked woman, her form both vulnerable and powerful, surrounded by a lush, natural landscape. The trees and plants that encircle her seem to reach out and embrace her, while the sun casts dappled light through the foliage. The woman's pose is reminiscent of classical Greek statues, yet her expression is modern and introspective. The title "A Life" suggests a narrative, and the lower case lettering in German text at the bottom of the print adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The title and text are almost hidden, as if meant only for the artist's eyes or for those who truly seek to understand the depths of the work. This print is part of a larger series, and it invites viewers to explore the rest of the portfolio to uncover the deeper meaning behind the image of the woman and her connection to nature. The use of brown tones and the absence of color only serve to heighten the sense of timelessness and heritage, making this a must-see for any art lover or student of the history of art." The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this important work in its permanent collection, allowing visitors to come face to face with the beauty and complexity of Max Klinger's A Life, 1884.
