Berthold Buchenau, woodcut on Arnold Schönberg’s Jakobsleiter, 1920
“The woodcut ‘Jakobsleiter’ is dedicated to you. Either throw the things in the wastebasket or give me an answer. Berthold Buchenau, Munich.”
Schönberg “answered” with a drawing, but apparently did not send it to the Munich artist.
