EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white sketch, titled "Head of a Young Woman in Profile," was created by the Austrian artist Josef Wawra in the year 1918. The image captures the essence of modernity before 1945, as the young woman's profile is depicted in a thoughtful and introspective manner, leaning back with a pensive expression. The artistic style of this work is rooted in historicism and historism, reflecting the cultural and intellectual trends of the early 20th century. The young woman's hairstyle, with her hair pulled back and up, was a popular choice during this time, representing a departure from the more traditional, voluminous hairstyles of the past. The intricate bun at the back of her head is meticulously rendered in chalk on paper, showcasing Wawra's exceptional drafting skills. The young woman's profile, with her serious yet gentle expression, evokes a sense of deep contemplation and introspection. Her profile, which is the focus of the entire composition, is set against a blank background, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject and inviting them to ponder her thoughts and emotions. This beautiful sketch is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Austria and the enduring influence of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, which houses a vast collection of works by Austrian artists from various periods. The image serves as a reminder of the profound impact of modernity on art and culture, and the continued relevance of historicist and philosophical themes in contemporary art.
