Abend im Garten c. 1925

Karl Wiener made this artwork, Abend im Garten, with ink and watercolor. Look at the lines; they dance across the page, each stroke a step in the artist's own dance through the garden. Imagine Wiener standing there, brush in hand, capturing the light as it softens, a sunflower watching over him as he is working. Maybe he felt a kinship with Van Gogh. Wiener takes the mundane, a backyard, and elevates it to a space of quiet contemplation. The texture created by the hatching technique feels almost tactile, drawing you into the scene. It's like he's saying, "Come, sit with me a while, and let's watch the day fade away." It is like a conversation across time and styles, echoing and inspiring each other’s creativity.
