Kehl/PKZ 0000-1162

If forced to choose the most representative, classic Hohlwein design, this one foe the mens clothier, PKZ, would be the immediate choice. It perfectly exemplifies his simplified, wallpaper-style application of pattern to complex shapes (like people), the elimination of unnecessary details and features, the flat colors, the carrying of the background color through into foreground figures and text, the virtuoso drawing. He utilized pattern to great effect in these works, imposing broad areas to flat pinstripe or square grid to define the dapper clothes of his models, at the same time, certain elements are rendered three-dimensionally by means of shadows and highlights, creating a tension between flatness and depth. Rare!
