Züge an die Front 1923

"Züge an die Front" (Trains to the Front), a 1923 drawing by Karl Wiener (1901-1949), depicts a stark, stylized scene of a train line receding into a sunset. The artist uses bold lines and washes of color to create a sense of urgency and motion, likely reflecting the anxieties of the post-World War I era in Germany. This artwork is a powerful example of Expressionism, a style characterized by emotional intensity and subjective experiences.
