  • MAX SCHWARZER (1882-1955). REGINA - PALAS / FÜNF UHR THEE. Circa 1915. 48½x36¼ inches, 123¼x92 cm. Markert & Son, Dresden.
    May. 18, 2023

    MAX SCHWARZER (1882-1955). REGINA - PALAS / FÜNF UHR THEE. Circa 1915. 48½x36¼ inches, 123¼x92 cm. Markert & Son, Dresden.

    Est: $1,200 - $1,800

    MAX SCHWARZER (1882-1955) REGINA - PALAS / FÜNF UHR THEE. Circa 1915. 48 1/2x36 1/4 inches, 123 1/4x92 cm. Markert & Son, Dresden. Condition B: extensive replaced losses, repaired tears and overpainting in margins and image; creases, repaired tears and restoration along vertical and horizontal folds. Strangely enough, right after the outbreak of the First World War, Max Schwarzer designed a series of three luxuriously decadent posters for the restaurant Zur Stadt Wien, located near Munich's main train station. It was a period of suffering and restrictions when one would not expect to see such light and frivolous images posted around a city! The posters were printed by Fritz Maison in Munich. This poster of an elegant, fashionable woman attending the 5 o'clock tea at the Regina Palas, uses the same image in the Munich printing, but it was printed by Markert & Son in Dresden and features slightly different text. The most probable explanation for this variation is that Schwarzer sold his successful image to the Regina-Palas (which might even have been under the same ownership). Schwarzer was a member of "die 6," six graphic designers based in Munich (the others were Franz Paul Glass, Fritz Huebner, Carl Moos, Walenty Zietara and Emil Preetorius), who combined forces to compete against Hohlwein's grasp on Munich's clients. This is the larger format. Kunst 31.

Schuh, München DESCRIPTION: The red-haired lady holds six winning cards with the names of each member of “The Six.” Since the group presented one poster per artist at each design meeting, it’s an apt metaphor for their collaborative “pick a card, any card” attitude.
