Paraphrase about finding a glove
Paraphrase about the discovery of a glove is the title of a cycle of ten drawings by Max Klinger from 1881.
Emergence
At the age of 21, Max Klinger created the fantasies about a found glove, dedicated to the lady who lost it , a moving series of pen drawings that show a surreal approach to reality. From the banal occurrence while roller skating in Berlin's Hasenheide , where an (exceptionally pretty?) Lady loses a glove, Klinger develops drawings of haunting sharpness that reproduce his mental and dreamy state so that the viewer can follow her into intimate areas.
The drawings were acquired by Otto Gerstenberg and are now in the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection in Berlin-Charlottenburg ( Stülerbau ), where they are part of the permanent exhibition. The cycle of ten drawings was printed three years later (1881) under the title Paraphrase about the discovery of a glove and was thus further distributed.
