More about this artwork

In the poignant simplicity of Karl Wiener's "Laterne und drei Vögel" (Lantern and Three Birds), we are drawn into a serene November scene captured around 1920. This minimalist composition, using only ink on paper, features a solitary street lamp standing as a stalwart observer of the changing seasons. The lamp's intricate yet stark lines contrast with the soft, horizontal strokes that suggest a windy backdrop, enhancing the piece's sense of isolation and tranquility.Surrounding this central figure are three birds, etched mid-flight into the scene. Their gentle, curving paths offer a dynamic contrast to the straight lines of the lamp and the rigid, methodical strokes that depict the sky. The inclusion of these birds infuses the artwork with a subtle vitality, reflecting the ongoing rhythm of natural life despite the stillness suggested by the lamp.The title "November" neatly printed at the bottom of the piece anchors the work in a specific time of year, known for its melancholic beauty and introspective ambiance. Wiener's use of clear, uncluttered lines and the overall composition evoke a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on the quiet moments of beauty that autumn brings.
