Black Pillars 1919

"Black Pillars" is a 1919 charcoal drawing by František Drtikol, a prominent Czech artist known for his stylized depictions of the human form and landscapes. The work features a minimalist composition of dark, imposing pillars against a muted background, hinting at a sense of mystery and grandeur. The drawing's simple forms and stark contrasts create a sense of depth and isolation, echoing the themes of symbolism and expressionism prevalent in early 20th-century art.
