Artist, German, 1894 - 1982

The image depicts intersecting lines and shapes creating an abstract design. The lines form angular and curved structures resembling fragmented household objects. The composition suggests an interior scene. The dynamic structure draws the eye to different points in the image, reminiscent of a cubist approach where perspectives were fragmented to offer multiple viewpoints within a single illustration.
