Grotesken, 30 Blätter, Graz 1924

"Grotesken, 30 Blätter, Graz" is a 1924 artwork by Austrian artist Karl Wiener (1901-1949). The work depicts a distorted, almost caricature-like portrait of a man in a suit, set within a geometric frame and surrounded by text. The image's exaggerated features and bold colors suggest a style influenced by Expressionism, a movement that emphasized emotional expression over realistic representation. The title "Grotesken," meaning "grotesques," further highlights the artwork's focus on the bizarre and distorted. This piece offers a glimpse into Wiener's artistic exploration of human form and his use of stylized imagery to convey his own unique vision.
