Ekstase 1921

"Ekstase" (1921) by Karl Wiener (1901-1949) depicts a female figure in a pink dress, reaching upwards towards a radiant, yellow light. The figure's stylized form and the abstract lines of the background evoke a sense of energy and dynamism. The work reflects Wiener's interest in Expressionism, a movement that emphasized emotional expression over realism. "Ekstase" conveys a powerful feeling of transcendence and the search for spiritual enlightenment.
