Half-Length Figure Turned to the Left','zh-CN
1924
Oskar Schlemmer, a master of the famous Bauhaus school, loved turning human figures into geometric, almost robotic shapes. In this 1924 piece, a pale, blonde figure is reduced to smooth curves and sharp angles, sitting stiffly against a blocky, color-blocked background. It looks less like a real person and more like a mannequin, reflecting Schlemmer's fascination with the relationship between humans and architectural space. His figures often feel eerily calm and detached, as if they are actors on a stage waiting for their cue in a silent play.
