Abendromanze 1938

"Abendromanze" (Evening Romance), a 1938 drawing by Karl Wiener, depicts a stylized landscape with geometric forms and figures. Wiener, a German artist born in 1901, was influenced by the Art Deco movement and was known for his unique and expressive style. The composition is dominated by rolling hills, a distant factory, and a figure walking in the sky above a stream of light, suggesting a mystical or fantastical scene. The figures in the foreground, including two men with large heads and a woman with a somber expression, add to the mysterious atmosphere of the artwork. The use of black lines and shading creates depth and dimension, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow in the landscape. "Abendromanze" offers a glimpse into Wiener's artistic vision and reflects the stylistic trends of the late 1930s.
