Julius Vogel's 1925 " Kunstler Monographien: Otto Greiner" - Book Illustrations

*
The 1925 Artist Monograph by Julius Vogel on Otto Greiner arrived from Germany last week. I have scanned many of the illustrations of academic studies for you (below). What amazes me most about Greiner was his ability to inject such movement in basically a static nude pose. Every ripple of muscle and sinew was captured to perfection. He made it look like childsplay and you and I both know that that kind of skill and talent only comes around once in a lifetime. The book is written in that old style German script and for me is a bear to read so I just copied the description of each study along with the illustration. Enjoy.
