More about this artwork

The painting "Aufbau" by Karl Wiener, dating from around 1923, exemplifies the artistic exploration during the early 20th century, particularly within the realms of abstraction and constructivism. This piece draws the viewer’s attention with its compelling use of vibrant colors and bold geometric shapes, presenting a dynamic and almost architectural form.At first glance, the composition may seem chaotic, but a closer observation reveals a structured arrangement that suggests a sense of upward motion and building, which aligns with the title "Aufbau" meaning "construction" or "building up" in German. The varied shapes and forms interlock and overlap, creating a visual depth and complexity that encourages the viewer to unravel its layers.Wiener's palette is rich and colorful, comprising primary colors that punctuate the canvas against a more muted background, highlighting the central structure that dominates the piece. This use of color not only enhances the visual impact of the work but also emphasizes the thematic constructs of growth and renewal, prevalent in post-World War I artistic narratives.

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.
