This 1932 work by German artist John Elsas is an example of the artist's collage style, often using cut paper and mixed media. In _17461 (_Beauty I occupy ..._)_ Elsas used a playful approach to depicting a figure through cutout shapes with a somewhat abstract representation of a woman, showcasing an experimental style characteristic of the time. The work is in the collection of the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany, and exemplifies Elsas's artistic exploration of form and color.
