Estey-Organs. 1896.

ARTIST: HANS UNGER (1876-1936) SIZE: 49 1/2 x 43 in./125.8 x 109.2 cm PRINTER: Wilhelm Hoffmann, Dresden DESCRIPTION: This monochromatic image of a stern-looking keyboard player virtually defines spooky chic—made all the more arresting with its tangerine border and funerary flowers—creating a spectacular advertisement for this organ and piano firm. Unger was an illustrator and painter who worked mostly in Germany—and briefly in Paris—and was an active member of the Munich Secession. This is the English version. (Art Nouveau; Music; German)
