Bantama 1921

"Bantama" is an abstract ink drawing created by Rudolf Bauer in 1921. The work is comprised of gestural lines and abstract shapes, highlighting the artist's exploration of non-representational art. Bauer utilized black ink and hatching to create a sense of depth and texture in the composition. The artwork showcases Bauer's interest in geometric forms and the expressive qualities of line, typical of his abstract style. While the artwork may seem chaotic, the deliberate arrangement of lines and shapes contributes to a unified aesthetic, making this piece an intriguing example of early 20th-century abstract expressionism.
