\"jugend-97-01\"<\/p>\n

Continuing the series of posts about Jugend<\/em> magazine, all these samples are from the issues for 1897. This is where things start getting really interesting graphically so I’m only posting a very small selection from 900 pages of content. As before, anyone interested is advised to examine the complete volumes which can be viewed and downloaded here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-02\"<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-03\"<\/p>\n

Cupid drawings abound in early issues of Jugend<\/em>, with men and women falling prey to love’s vicissitudes. This is one of the more unusual examples.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-04\"<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-05\"<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-06\"<\/p>\n

The German artist I’d earlier described as obscure\u2014Carl Schmidt-Helmbrechts<\/a>\u2014is represented several times in these issues. This cover is his most striking work, with a figure that looks like a piece of 1950s beefcake art and a stunning lettering design that would be a challenge for many magazines today.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-07\"<\/p>\n

Another piece by Schmidt-Helmbrechts.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-08\"<\/p>\n

One of many stylish works by Joseph Rudolf Witzel who also created the advertising poster for Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-09\"<\/p>\n

A fairy-tale piece by Gr\u00e4fin Olga Kraszewska, one of the few women artists to be featured in the magazine.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-10\"<\/p>\n

Fidus with more of his cavorting naturists.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-11\"<\/p>\n

This is probably the most bizarre cover of the magazine’s entire run. I’ve already mentioned that mermaids and sirens were a recurrent theme but this cover for issue 33 is a spectacularly Freudian rendering. I wish I could credit the artist but the signature is obscured and there’s no credit given inside.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-12\"<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-13\"<\/p>\n

A remarkable piece of near-abstraction.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-14\"<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-15\"<\/p>\n

A piece by the great Secessionist artist, Max Klinger<\/a>, dedicated to Symbolist painter Arnold B\u00f6cklin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"jugend-97-16\"<\/p>\n

I guessed that artist Sascha Schneider<\/a> might have contributed to Jugend<\/em>, and sure enough, here’s one of his works. Typically homoerotic and it seems to be his sole contribution, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

Jugend<\/em> for 1898 will follow in due course.<\/p>\n
