Crucifixion I

Wilhelm Morgner

National Gallery of Art

The image displays sharp, angular shapes and bold lines in an abstract composition. On one side, there are shapes resembling a canine standing on its hind legs surrounded by elongated figures that resemble hooded or robed people. The scene suggests an interaction between these figures, creating a tableau that resembles a gathering or ritualistic setting.
