Krüppel (Cripples) 1920

"Krüppel (Cripples)" is a lithograph created in 1920 by German artist Heinrich Hoerle. The piece consists of black text on a light brown background, and it includes a title, artist name, and a series of poetic verses about a man with a wooden leg. The work is a prime example of Hoerle's artistic style which was heavily influenced by the Expressionist movement. His works often focused on the complexities of human existence and the human condition. This particular work has a contemplative and somewhat melancholic tone.
