Artist, German, 1887 - 1965

The image displays irregularly shaped forms and bold, curved lines that come together in an abstract composition. Recognizable elements suggest familiar objects like animals such as cows or bulls, depicted with block colors of black, red, and shades of gray. The strong colors and arrangement of shapes create depth and a sense of overlapping, hinting at multiple figures in a confined space. Overall, the abstract shapes resemble a gathering of animals, linked through fluid lines and colors.
