More about this artwork

** Karl Wiener’s compelling artwork "Why" from 1940 is a haunting tapestry of melancholy and chaos, vividly capturing the turmoil and existential dread of its era. This collage combines fragments of reality – newspaper clippings, ration books, personal documents, and emblematic images to delve deeply into the heartache and confusion of wartime.Central to the composition is a figure, a youth in a helmet, his gaze piercing amidst the smoky darkness around him — an embodiment of disillusionment and inquiry. Tangled roots or branches encircle the elements, symbolizing perhaps the inescapable clutch of circumstance. The collage features various texts, possibly snippets of bureaucracy and daily survival during those tumultuous times — from rationing details like "butter or margarine" to linguistic plays with the word "why" in different languages ("pourquoi", standing out poignantly).Each element, carefully chosen and placed, serves as a reminder of the period's societal constraints and personal anxieties. The dominance of dark tones interspersed with sudden pops of color, like the green hat and expressive eyes of the figure, dramatically underscores the emotional and physical landscape of a world under strain.
