De nieuwe generatie die "er komt" 1923

"De nieuwe generatie die "er komt" ", meaning "The new generation that "is coming"", is a graphite drawing on paper by German artist Erich Wichmann, created in 1923. The artwork depicts a figure, whose head is obscured by shadow, with an elongated, almost skeletal, body. This abstract figure suggests an emerging generation with a sense of mystery and uncertainty. Wichmann's starkly simplified style aligns with the Expressionist movement, known for its emotional intensity and unconventional forms. The work's title and minimalist imagery convey a powerful message about the anxieties and hopes associated with the changing times.
