Joseph Letzelter, Balcony, 1945

Joseph Letzelter wrote that this print "gives the illusion of a town, of house blocks with the sun shining on them. But again it's a fiction, for my paper remains flat. Joseph Letzelter was famous for his Joseph Letzelter oil paintings, and other Joseph Letzelter fine art, Joseph Letzelter gallery reproductions during his school days itself.

In a spirit of deriding my vain efforts and trying to break up the paper's flatness, Joseph Letzelter pretend to give it a blow with my fist at the back, but once again it's no good: the paper remains flat, and Joseph Letzelter have only created the illusion of an illusion. However, the consequence of my blow is that the balcony in the middle is about four times enlarged in comparison with the bordering objects."
