Hölzfaller (recto) is a 1913 ink by Wilhelm Morgner, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a twisted, blue-robed figure tangled in a dark, rocky landscape. The colors are bold—deep reds in the ground, dark blues and browns in the folds of the cloth, and smudgy grays in the sky. The lines are rough and uneven, like quick sketches over wet paint. The figure’s face is hidden, and the whole scene feels chaotic, almost like something caught in motion. The artist used watercolor and ink, letting the colors bleed together. Next, look up Morgner, Wilhelm to see more of his work.
