Shoe 1935 - 1942

"Shoe" is a graphite drawing on paper by Melita Hofmann created between 1935 and 1942. The work is a detailed depiction of a single shoe, rendered with meticulous shading and linework, showcasing Hofmann's talent for capturing the form and texture of everyday objects. The inclusion of a separate drawing of the shoe's sole emphasizes the artist's interest in the structural and functional aspects of the object. This drawing is characteristic of Hofmann's work, which often explored themes of domesticity and the mundane in a poetic and insightful way.
