Vorsatz (back endpapers) from Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: The Shadow of Life)
The image depicts complex shapes and lines on a red background. The shapes resemble human figures in different poses - two standing and two sitting, enclosed in rectangular outlines. The figures appear stylized with emphasis on form. Black shapes interconnect, creating a puzzle-like composition where the figures interact within outlined spaces.
