Kriegerwitwe 1942

"Kriegerwitwe" (1942) by Karl Wiener (1901-1949) is an expressive, boldly painted work that conveys a sense of loneliness and isolation. The lone figure, a woman in a striking, multi-colored coat, stands against a stark, pale brown building. The nighttime setting with the moon overhead amplifies the feeling of solitude. Wiener was a German artist known for his distinct style, which often featured distorted figures and expressive use of color. This piece exemplifies his unique vision and emotional intensity.
