Harlequin 1925

"Harlequin" is a 1925 painting by German artist Walter Kurt Wiemken, known for his work within the Expressionist and Cubist movements. The painting depicts a stylized figure in a harlequin costume, using geometric shapes and vibrant colors to create a dynamic and fragmented composition. Wiemken's bold use of color and abstraction evokes the energy and theatricality of the harlequin, while also reflecting the artistic trends of the early 20th century. The figure appears almost fragmented, highlighting the artist's interest in exploring the human form through the lens of geometric abstraction.
