"Vom Tod zum Morgen" (From Death to Morning) is a 1941 drawing by Karl Wiener. The artwork depicts a crowd of people, likely civilians, against a background of shattered buildings and a towering, symbolic figure that could represent death or destruction. Wiener's stark, angular style and the use of graphite lend a sense of urgency and despair to the composition, reflecting the anxieties of war in Europe.
