About the artwork
This page presents "Kopfstudie, aus; 'Profile', 10 Blätter, Graz XI" (1924), created by Karl Wiener. The catalogue places it in Landscape. The format is portrait. Background on Landscape: Painters have used landscape to study light, weather, season, and the relation between people and place. The invention of paint in tubes in the 1840s made it easier to work outdoors, and landscape became a main subject of Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. About the period around 1924: The first decades of the twentieth century were a period of rapid experiment, with Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, and the first abstract painting appearing within a few years of each other. Posters, magazines, and illustrated books were major ways for the public to meet new art and design.
"Kopfstudie, aus; 'Profile', 10 Blätter, Graz XI" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A portrait format suits narrow wall spaces, hallways, and the area beside a door or window.
