三個頭像 by Oskar Schlemmer, 1936

Oskar Schlemmer, the Bauhaus master famous for his geometric 'Triadic Ballet,' created this haunting sketch during a dark period of 'inner emigration' in 1936. With the Nazis labeling his work 'degenerate' and forbidding him from painting on large canvases, he turned to paper, producing ghostly, puppet-like figures that seem to float in a void. The three overlapping heads—rendered in frantic charcoal strokes with splashes of red and blue—feel like masks peering out from a fog, capturing the anxiety and isolation of an artist silenced by a totalitarian regime.
