Unity 1913

"Unity" (1913) by Ferdinand Hodler is a striking example of Symbolism, a movement that sought to express abstract ideas through symbolic imagery. The artwork depicts a group of figures with their arms raised in a gesture of collective unity, with a central figure standing prominently. Hodler's unique style, characterized by simplified forms and vibrant colors, emphasizes the unifying message of the piece. The elongated figures, standing in a seemingly unified mass, exude a sense of shared purpose and collective strength. This powerful artwork captures the spirit of unity and its significance in human society.
