Abend c. 1921

"Abend" (Evening) is a drawing by German artist Karl Wiener, created around 1921. The artwork depicts a city skyline silhouetted against a colorful evening sky, created with hatched lines and flat areas of color. The minimalist aesthetic is characteristic of Wiener's later work, and the artwork is likely a depiction of his hometown, Cologne, Germany. Wiener was a prominent artist who also dabbled in sculpture, book illustration, and architecture.
