"Building Site of I.G. Farben," created in 1928 by Pauline Kowarzik, offers a glimpse into the industrial landscape of the early 20th century. The painting, currently housed in the Städel Museum, captures the chaotic and dynamic energy of a construction site, with workers, machinery, and materials in a state of flux. Kowarzik's use of color and line conveys a sense of both movement and stillness, capturing the essential qualities of this powerful, industrial scene.
