Flagellation

Wilhelm Morgner

National Gallery of Art

The image features fluid, interlocking shapes and lines in an abstract composition. Swirling forms and jagged edges create a dynamic visual, reminiscent of tree branches or pathways on a map viewed from above. Dark, bold outlines define the shapes, while lighter spaces within suggest a continuous flow. Triangular patterns appear in the top right corner.
