Expression; Komödie c. 1922

"Expression: Komödie," a c. 1922 drawing by Karl Wiener, features a stylized figure rendered in a dynamic pose against a stark, textured background. Wiener, a German artist known for his Expressionist works, utilizes bold lines and contrasting colors to create a sense of movement and tension in the piece, reflecting a fascination with theatricality and the power of performance. The abstract, patterned background might represent an audience or a theatrical backdrop, further reinforcing the connection to stage and performance.
