Antichrist 1917

"Antichrist", a 1917 drawing by Austrian artist August Natterer (1868-1933), depicts a hooded figure standing with outstretched arms, a symbol of religious authority. The figure's elongated form and the simple, linear style of the artwork are characteristic of Natterer's artistic style. The figure appears to be standing on a cloud or a similar ethereal form, which suggests a connection to the divine or the supernatural. The title, "Antichrist", adds a layer of ambiguity to the artwork, raising questions about the nature of the figure and its possible role in religious discourse. The drawing's stark simplicity and its unsettling subject matter make it a thought-provoking exploration of faith, power, and the unknown.
