Karasz Exhibition Catalogue, Hanfstaengl Galleries

This tri-fold exhibition catalogue announces a show of prints by Ilonka Karasz at the Hanfstaengl Galleries in New York, running March 27 to April 15. The cover features a linoleum cut—a technique gaining prominence among modernist printmakers in the early twentieth century. The image depicts a female nude beneath a weeping tree, her raised arms echoing classical contrapposto while the drapery suggests both movement and restraint. Karasz, born in Hungary and working in New York, employs bold black lines and organic forms characteristic of Art Nouveau and early Expressionist printmaking. The catalogue itself exemplifies how galleries promoted contemporary artists through accessible, portable documents that brought exhibition announcements directly to collectors and the urban art audience of the period.
