1931
Oskar Schlemmer was obsessed with the human figure as a geometric form, and this 1931 sketch is a perfect peek into his mind. Titled 'Treppenszene' (Staircase Scene), it shows stylized, almost mannequin-like figures navigating a staircase, their bodies reduced to smooth curves and sharp angles. As a master at the Bauhaus school, Schlemmer often treated people like puppets or architectural elements, exploring how humans move through space. This drawing feels like a rehearsal for his famous 'Triadic Ballet,' where dancers wore bulky, geometric costumes that turned them into living sculptures.
