EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph by Joseph Pennell transports us back to the bustling streets of Berlin in 1921. The image captures Wertheim, a prominent department store located at Leipziger-Platz, which served as a hub for art and commerce during this vibrant era. Pennell's keen eye for detail is evident in every stroke of his lithographic technique, bringing to life the architectural grandeur of the building against the backdrop of a busy street scene. The print showcases the intricate façade of Wertheim, with its ornate windows and elegant design elements that reflect German heritage art. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are drawn into a world where people from all walks of life come together to explore their passion for arts and culture. In the foreground, background figures add depth to the composition, providing glimpses into daily life in early 20th century Germany. The National Gallery of Art Washington has preserved this remarkable piece as part of its collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate Pennell's artistic vision and his ability to capture both architectural beauty and human activity within one frame. This print serves as a testament to Berlin's rich history as an art center and reminds us that even amidst bustling city streets, there is always room for creativity and inspiration.
