Leute c. 1935

"Leute" (People) is a haunting drawing by Karl Wiener created circa 1935. The work depicts a solitary figure in the foreground, standing in front of a cityscape, rendered in a muted color palette. The background features a skyline of tall industrial structures, suggesting an urban environment. The artist's use of somber hues and stark contrasts evokes a sense of alienation and isolation, reflecting the social and economic anxieties of the time. Wiener, a German artist, was known for his evocative depictions of modern life and the human condition. His work often explored themes of urban alienation, social commentary, and the psychological landscape.
