Die Kalinkin-Brücke, bei der es nachts spukt (The Kalinkin Bridge Which is Haunted at Night) (plate 12) from Der Mantel (The Coat)

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image on the right page features an abstract composition characterized by dark, blurred lines and shapes, creating a sense of movement and depth. The overlapping forms and the use of light and shadow are reminiscent of natural elements. The forms lack concrete definition, enhancing their abstract nature. The overall impression is one of mystery and ambiguity.
