The artwork, created by artist Konrad Zuse in 1965, is a chalk piece belonging to the art movement known as Kitsch. It is classified under the genre of cityscape.
Despite being categorized as a cityscape, the artwork features a nude female figure depicted in vibrant, expressive strokes of chalk. The woman appears to be in a sitting position, with her knees slightly bent and her head turned to one side, exuding a sense of contemplation or melancholy. The background features an abstract interplay of blue and purple hues, adding depth and contrast to the overall composition. The interplay of light and shadow highlights the figure’s form, giving it a lifelike quality and emphasizing the skillful use of chalk as a medium. The name “K. Zuse” along with the date “65” is visible at the bottom right, authenticating the piece’s origination from 1965. The artwork challenges the traditional boundaries of a cityscape, merging human form with abstract elements to create a compelling visual narrative.
