Hoofd in profiel
1930
Oskar Schlemmer, famous for his robotic Bauhaus dancers, takes a surprisingly delicate approach in this 1930 profile portrait. Instead of bold geometric shapes, he builds the face entirely out of thousands of tiny, colorful dots, creating a ghostly figure that seems to dissolve into the paper. The subtle mix of blues, reds, and yellows gives the skin a vibrating, almost digital texture decades before pixels were invented. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how a master of modernist abstraction handled the human form with pure, meticulous pointillism.
