Tanz der Krüppel c. 1940s

"Tanz der Krüppel" (Dance of the Cripples) is a painting by Austrian artist Walther Gamerith, created around the 1940s. The painting depicts a group of figures in a dark and desolate landscape, with a crescent moon illuminating the scene. The figures are all deformed or injured, and they are depicted in a chaotic and frenzied dance. The painting is a powerful commentary on the human condition, and it suggests the artist's own feelings of alienation and despair. It showcases the disturbing and chaotic aspect of expressionism and evokes a sense of unease and discomfort in viewers.
