Unusual within Hermann-Paul’s later works, this dynamic composition captures the thrill of modern mechanized life and the lively fashions of the Art Deco era. This pairing of a subtly printed color edition with a singular black-and-white impression enhanced by the artist’s hand, demonstrates how an established master reinvented his style in the early 20th century.
