Haus der Firma Z (Firmaet Zs hus) is a 1922 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This sketch shows a jumbled cityscape made of overlapping cubes and rectangles. Some buildings tilt at odd angles while others stack unevenly. A red cross sits in the top left corner, and a black circle with an arrow pointing up appears near the top right. The sky is a thin blue line at the very top, and the whole scene is drawn in light pencil with a few watercolor washes. The title *Haus der Firma Z* hints this might be a playful take on a real building—though it’s hard to tell. The messy, floating shapes break normal rules of perspective, almost like a puzzle. If this style intrigues you, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in other works.
