The sketches for the murals at the Hamburg Kunsthalle already deliver proof of the artist's feel for the unusual format. The frieze-like composition already hints at the later usage. Depicted items suggest an examination of Asian of African culture: two Buddha masks, a slightly opened black wooden case from the Kongo with carvings and a colorful bast blanket from Central Africa. Johanna Maetzel-Johannsen follows the tradition of library decorations with motifs from global knowledge and the occupation with exotic civilizations.
