Aus Trümmern erhebt sich der Mensch 1942

"Aus Trümmern erhebt sich der Mensch" (Man Rises From Ruins) is a 1942 pencil drawing by German artist Karl Wiener. The artwork depicts a lone figure standing atop a pile of rubble, likely a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of destruction. Wiener’s work, created during World War II, reflects the devastation of the era and the human spirit's ability to persevere. The geometric shapes and stark lines of the drawing contribute to the powerful and moving imagery.
