Akaki wird zu Grabe getragen (Akaki Is Carried to the Grave) (plate 11) from Der Mantel (The Coat)

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image on the right page features intersecting lines and dark shapes forming a dynamic composition. A figure resembling a man wearing a tall hat and reaching out can be discerned. The patterns show contrast and play with light and shadow. The shapes are abstract and may evoke clouds or waves in motion.
