Revue – Diva 1944

Karl Wiener's "Revue – Diva" (1944) is a striking collage depicting a glamorous woman in a theatrical pose. The figure, adorned in a dazzling costume, stands against a black background punctuated by geometric shapes and stars. Wiener's use of collage, a technique popular in the early 20th century, highlights the fragmented nature of modern life and the influence of commercial imagery. The work's bold colors and dramatic composition evoke a sense of performance and the allure of the stage. This piece is a testament to Wiener's unique artistic vision and his ability to merge the mundane with the fantastical in his work.
