Untitled

This untitled print was made by Paul Kleinschmidt at an unknown date. It's all about the line, isn't it? A flurry of dark strokes diving and darting, it's like looking into an agitated dream. The texture is built by these marks, a controlled chaos of lines that suggest form and movement. The horses and riders appear through a screen of energy. I'm drawn to the way the lines thicken and pool in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and weight. It's a bit like de Kooning's sketches, but with a narrative twist. The nervous energy reminds me of Kirchner, but there's also a raw, unpolished quality here that feels distinctly Kleinschmidt's own. What do you make of it?
