Freundschaft
Ink on Paper
1938 40" x 28"

      This is a later work where the symbols are large and humorous.Many of his shapes are inspired from nature and photography of plankton, diatoms, seeds, and micro-organisms that German scientific photographers were making at this time. His symbols were born in the age of high-resolution microscopy and close-up photography, where the unusual shapes of microscopic nature are as mysterious as the cosmos. In this painting the shapes are simplified to make two unusual faces joined together in friendship.
