EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph print, we find the enigmatic figure of Baron Detlev von Liliencron, a German poet, novelist, and lyricist, captured by the skilled hand of artist Hans Olde in 1898. The image, housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases Liliencron in the prime of his life, with a full beard and a prominent mustache, exuding an air of wisdom and introspection. Born in Germany in 1869, Liliencron was a prolific writer whose works spanned various genres, including poetry, novels, and lyrics. His literary contributions were deeply rooted in the German cultural heritage, yet his travels to America in the late 19th century left an indelible impression on his artistic sensibilities. This portrait, published in volume 4, number 2 of an unknown journal in 1898, offers a glimpse into the life of this intriguing figure. Liliencron's warm, inviting smile and thoughtful gaze suggest a man deeply engaged with the world around him, a man whose words continue to resonate with readers over a century later. The lithograph, printed on brown wove paper, is a testament to Olde's mastery of the medium. The contrast between the white ink and the dark background creates a striking visual effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject and inviting contemplation. As a window into the past, this image offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose literary legacy continues to inspire and captivate. It serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring allure of the human spirit.
