Description

The contents page or frontispiece to a Gekko publication—likely one of the illustrated books or print series he produced throughout his career—offers a meta-commentary on his body of work, the organization of images into categories or sequences revealing how he understood the relationships between his different subject types. The format also allowed him to exercise his compositional skill on a smaller, more intimate scale than the full-page prints.
