Group of Four with Diagonal Profile','zh-CN
1942
Famous for his geometric Bauhaus figures, Oskar Schlemmer created this hauntingly abstract composition late in his life during the dark days of World War II. Four stylized, head-like forms float in a murky, textured space, with one prominent profile cutting diagonally across the canvas in warm ochre tones. The frantic brushstrokes and muted earth colors reflect the intense anxiety of the era, marking a stark, emotional departure from his earlier, rigid mechanical men. It's a poignant glimpse into an artist's mind under pressure, clinging to his signature motifs even as the world crumbled around him.
