Spitzköpfig kommt er... (With a Pointed Head He Rises...) (in-text 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 abstract forms resembling rooftops and trees. Bold black lines and sharp angles create a dramatic and chaotic vision. There is German text above the drawing, and the page shows signs of aging with discolorations and light stains on the edges.
