"A monochromatic image of a stern-looking keyboard player that
virtually defines spooky chic-made all the more arresting with its
tangerine boarder and funerary flowers-creates a spectacular advertisement
for this organ and piano firm. Unger was an illustrator and painter
who worked in Germany and briefly in Paris and was an active member
of the Munich Secession." (Rennert,
XLI, 37)
For over 100 years, the Estey Organ Company manufactured organs
large and small in Brattleboro, VT. These included some 520,000 reed
organs, 3200 pipe organs, and, at the end, a foray into the area of
electronic organs.

"Hans Unger studied at the Art Academy in Dresden from
1892 until 1895. In 1897/1898 he lived in Paris. Back in Dresden he
shared a studio with Sascha Schneider and Richard Müller. He worked
for "Pan", "Studio" and "Jugend" and he was a member of the Secession
in Munich. Later he was mostly involved in portrait painting. Unger
lived in Dresden-Loschwitz for a long time." (xs4all.nl)
