Liegender Stier und Umstehende 

Otto Scholderer created this drawing, "Liegender Stier und Umstehende," with graphite on paper. Two scenes are separated in the composition. The sketch shows a bull with other figures who are not fully present within the composition. The left sketch features a figure near a window and a person standing in front of the bull. The right sketch appears to take place within an interior space. A shadowy background makes it difficult to discern any depth. Here, the artist experiments with perspective, using sharp, angular lines to create a sense of space. The rapid, gestural lines and the lack of fine detail suggest that Scholderer was more interested in capturing the dynamic energy of the scene. The drawing challenges the viewer to construct their own narrative from these visual fragments. By presenting incomplete forms, Scholderer invites active participation in the creation of meaning.
