Description

Scarce signed photo of one of the most influential composers of the 20th century

Austrian-born composer (1874-1951) whose development of the 'twelve-tone' system proved to be one of the most far-reaching innovations in the history of 20th century music. Vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 4.75 portrait of Schoenberg by Richard Fish, affixed to a 6 x 8 mount, lengthily signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen by Schoenberg. Also signed below the image in pencil by the photographer, and bears his ink credit stamp on the reverse. In fine condition, with faint toning from prior display. Schoenberg's autograph is rare in any form, especially in signed photos of such quality.
