Alle Landschaften Haben II (All Landscapes Have II) (plate) from mock-up of Georg Heym: Umbra Vitae (Georg Heym: Shadow of Life)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a combination of text and simple illustrative elements. The image features a block print-style depiction of a textual page with artistic elements. The text is written in German and arranged in a structured block format, with some sections set apart by decorative lines or motifs. Prominent text at the top reads "Alle Landschaften haben". Alongside the text are a few illustrative and abstract elements: on the left, a figure with stylized, angular features; at the center top, two figures lying side by side; and on the right, a depiction of a small structure, possibly a house, with a mountainous landscape in the background. Below, there are more abstract linear motifs and silhouettes of mountain peaks.
