The artwork titled “Three Vertical Profiles, One Pointing to the Right (Drei Profile in Senkrechten, eines nach rechts)” was created by the artist Oskar Schlemmer in 1920. It belongs to the Constructivism art movement and is classified within the figurative genre.
In the artwork, three abstract, vertical profiles are rendered, with one profile distinctly facing to the right. The profiles are stylized and layered, employing geometric shapes and lines that are characteristic of the Constructivism movement. The use of monochromatic and subdued hues enhances the abstract aesthetic, while the interplay of light and shadow brings a dynamic aspect to the composition. This synthesis of geometric precision and human form exemplifies Schlemmer’s approach to merging figurative art with modernist abstraction.
