More about this artwork

"Arbeitervillen," painted circa 1923 by Karl Wiener, offers a compelling vista of architectural form and social function. The painting depicts towering, stony buildings that dominate the foreground, their robust, medieval-esque structures casting a commanding presence amidst a townscape. In this artwork, Wiener employs a stark contrast in scale and texture between these monumental edifices and the modest, colorfully accented dwellings in the background. This juxtaposition may interpret the social hierarchy or living conditions of the time, providing a visual exploration of class and community dynamics within an urban setting.Distinctly characterized by their rough, pockmarked facades and sparse fenestration, the central buildings appear almost fortress-like, separating or shielding the more vibrant community behind them. The deep blue of the sky enhances the solidity of the structures while creating a poignant mood that underscores a narrative of isolation or resilience.

Karl Wiener was an Austrian draftsman , graphic artist and photo montage artist. Because of his political and time-critical montages of the 1930s and 1940s, he was posthumously referred to as the Austrian John Heartfield on the occasion of the major retrospective on his estate in the Wien Museum.
