Wilhelm Lehmbruck

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of abstract rounded shapes depicting intertwined forms. The central figure is an organic form composed of smooth, curving lines. The shapes are rendered with sketch-like, expressive strokes and give a sense of texture and volume. This is an expressive and gestural abstract depiction, drawing attention to the interaction between the lines and shapes within the composition. The background is minimally detailed, directing the focus on the central forms.
