The human figure occupies a key position in Oskar Schlemmer's work. In 1928 he wrote: "For the new life, which includes a modern feeling for the world and life, man's knowledge as a cosmic being is indispensable" (quote after: ex. cat. Staatsgalerie Stuttgart 1968, p. 21). In his drawings Schlemmer approximates the depiction of modern man. Our work was made in 1930 and deals with the problem of "Man in Space", his main field of interest during his time at the Bauhaus. The execution of the figures in a pointillist manner is singular in Oskar Schlemmer's oeuvre.
