Am Wegende (End of the Road)

Heinrich Hoerle

National Gallery of Art

The image contains swirling and looping lines that flow across the canvas. In the center, the lines morph into a form resembling a gnarled tree trunk with branch-like extensions. Nearby, a shape resembling a human face or mask appears, adding a sense of familiarity. The curves and shapes suggest natural forms such as rivers or roots, enhancing the abstract composition.
