Ohne Titel II c. 1940

“Ohne Titel II” (c. 1940) by Karl Wiener, is a watercolor painting with a dramatic, abstract style. It depicts a dark, ominous storm above a landscape with a single building and a standing figure. The dark clouds, punctuated by streaks of lightning, rain, and swirling shapes, create a sense of impending doom. The building, rendered in simple geometric forms, appears dwarfed by the overwhelming force of nature. The lone figure seems to stand in silent contemplation, making the piece a powerful evocation of the anxieties of the time.
