Sull’opera
Schlemmer only made about twenty prints in total. As with his paintings and designs for the dance and theatre, his prints take the human figure as their central focus. The stylized shapes of the figures in this lithograph give them the appearance of mannequins or puppets. They are assemblages of forms, rather than creatures of flesh and blood.

1923
The influence of Metaphysical painting
From 1923 Schlemmer’s style is strongly influenced by Metaphysical painting (Pittura Metafisica): the number of figures in his pictures noticeably decreases, and they are arranged on a clearly divided surface in a choreographic order that reflects universal harmony. The National Gallery in Berlin and the Folkwang Museum in Essen acquire works from this period, and recognition and fame come to the artist.
