Wilhelm Lehmbruck

Associated Names

Wilhelm Lehmbruck

Artist, German, 1881 - 1919

This is a drawing of two abstracted figures intertwined. The image features two figures in a simple, outlined form. The lines are loose and fluid, almost sketch-like. The image is monochrome. The lack of detailed features or background keeps the focus on the abstract forms of the figures themselves.
