Hällucinationen (Hallucinations) 1920

Heinrich Hoerle's 1920 drawing "Hällucinationen" (Hallucinations) depicts a solitary figure slumped in a chair, their body contorted in an unsettling pose. Surrounding the figure are multiple disembodied hands emerging from pots, adding to the disorienting atmosphere of the work. This piece, part of the German Expressionist movement, exemplifies the artist's fascination with psychological states, particularly those characterized by anxiety and alienation. The distorted figures and the unsettling imagery contribute to the overall sense of unease.
