Desire 1927

"Desire" (1927) by Czech artist Mikuláš Galanda (1895-1938) is a striking example of line drawing and abstract form. The artwork depicts a stylized face with a prominent, large, red lip, suggesting a focus on desire and sexuality. The face is juxtaposed with a black, abstract form, possibly representing an object or a part of the body, contributing to the overall sense of mystery and allure. Galanda was known for his bold use of black and white, and his exploration of human emotions and the subconscious.
