Dinner Party 1935

Oskar Schlemmer's "Dinner Party" (1935) is a compelling example of his unique artistic style. The painting depicts a group of figures seated around a table, their forms simplified and almost geometric. The muted colors, stark contrasts, and flat planes emphasize the composition's formality and stillness. The scene evokes a sense of unease or contemplation, as if the figures are engaged in a silent or introspective moment. The work's focus on form, color, and composition reflects Schlemmer's interest in exploring the fundamentals of art, while also hinting at the social and existential concerns of his time.
