Mädchen 1942

"Mädchen" (1942) by Karl Wiener is a striking example of collage art, a technique popularized in the early 20th century. The work features a female figure, likely a cut-out from a magazine, set against a stark, reddish-brown background. Wiener's signature style is evident in the geometric shapes and bright colors he used to highlight the figure's body, creating a jarring and evocative image. The work offers a unique perspective on female representation, highlighting the artist's interest in exploring societal norms and the power of visual manipulation.
