Figural Plan K 1 (Figure Plan K 1)
1921
Oskar Schlemmer was obsessed with turning humans into geometry, and this 1921 sketch is a perfect example of his quirky vision. It looks like a stack of abstract puppets or mannequins, composed of circles and curves that barely resemble people. As a master at the famous Bauhaus school, Schlemmer treated the human body like an architectural element—something to be measured, stylized, and put on stage. These floating figures likely relate to his famous 'Triadic Ballet,' where dancers wore geometric costumes that restricted their movement into stiff, mechanical poses. It’s like a blueprint for a world where people are made of math.
