Head Pieces 1935 - 1942

"Head Pieces" is a colorful drawing by Melita Hofmann, created between 1935 and 1942. The work features six stylized depictions of headpieces, likely inspired by Indigenous American traditions. The design of the pieces, which are rendered in colored pencil on paper, demonstrate Hofmann's fascination with geometric patterns and vibrant color combinations. Her work, while rooted in observation and cultural appreciation, reflects her personal artistic vision and a focus on abstraction.
