Franz Bernheimer made this 1988 abstract drawing in a series focused on biological shapes. Before he moved to the USA in 1939, he studied biology at universities in Naples, Rome, and Zurich. His abstract marks mix living curves with hard edges, hinting at the chaos of the 20th century. This tension between body and machine shows up in many of his works. Look up Bernheimer, Franz next.
