Wols Dans le sable (enlisé, une seule main surgit) 1932

Wols, born Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze, created "Wols Dans le sable (enlisé, une seule main surgit)" in 1932. The piece exemplifies the artist's distinct style, known as Art Brut or Outsider Art, characterized by its raw, instinctive quality and use of organic forms. The work depicts a surreal landscape, with a sense of entrapment and fragility conveyed through a network of interconnected shapes. This drawing is a striking example of Wols's early experimentation with abstract expressionism, pushing the boundaries of traditional art and exploring the depths of his subconscious mind.
