"Tightrope Walker (Seiltänzer)" is a 1921 lithograph by German Expressionist artist Paul Gangolf. The artwork depicts a complex and fragmented cityscape, seemingly from a bird's eye view. Dense, dark lines create a dizzying sense of depth and movement, reflecting the artist's exploration of urban life in the early 20th century. The use of heavy black lines and stippling techniques creates a sense of anxiety and claustrophobia, contributing to the overall Expressionist aesthetic. Gangolf's work is characterized by its bold compositions and a focus on the psychological impact of the modern world.
