About the Item

A rare depiction of same-sex affection in early 20th century art, this beautiful print was made by Josef Eberz, one of Germany's great inter-war Expressionists. Strongly influenced by Cubism and emergent Art Deco design, this print shows a male couple in the heart of a tropical paradise, complete with exotic birds and embracing palm trees. The print may have a connection to a group of illustrations that Eberz did for "Die Pole des Eros," an important and early series of gay stories written by Curt Moreck (pseudonym of Konrad Haemmerling), in 1918. (Print is not matted or framed.).
