Alley Corner','zh-CN
1911
Before Oskar Schlemmer became a Bauhaus superstar known for his geometric costumes, he was painting quiet street corners like this 1911 'Gassenwinkel' (Street Corner). The scene feels strangely empty, like a stage set after the actors have gone home. He breaks the houses down into sharp triangles and blocks, using those bright red chimneys to grab your eye against the dusty whites and browns. That big black tree on the right isn't just nature; it's a heavy, graphic shape that pushes the flat, architectural world forward, showing his early obsession with structure and space.
