"Angelic Archers, " Poetry Booklet with Nude Male Cover Illustration by Scheibe
About the Item
Rare and beautifully produced, this small booklet of poetry by Alfred Richard Meyer was published in 1921 with a stylized cover illustration by Richard Scheibe depicting two archers with angel wings, standing back to back, one nude and the other clothed in modern dress. Scheibe is best known for his bronze nudes, highly coveted, but his works on paper are very rare. Here he collaborated with Meyer, who was known for being a gourmand, a cabaret-goer, a nude bather and a poet with a fanciful, humorous approach to the arts. Meyer placed his poetry in a pale brown cover, with an oval blue label, and hand-addressed it to his clients.

To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...Category
