The artwork titled “Picture Without Words,” created by Konrad Zuse in 1926, is a drawing executed in the medium of a sketch. This piece belongs to the Expressionism movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a dynamic and somewhat whimsical scene featuring characters and animals in motion. On the left, a rotund individual is animatedly running with a knife in hand. On the ground, two figures are entangled with the hind limbs of a robust cow, which appears to be in the midst of a frantic dash. A dog, seemingly agitated, trails behind the chaotic scene. The background displays an indistinct structure, adding a subtle sense of depth to the composition. The overall tone of the drawing reflects the hallmarks of Expressionism, emphasizing exaggerated forms and a dramatic portrayal of movement.
