Flat, geometric heads in grey, brown, orange and white fill the upper half of the canvas, each face reduced to circles for eyes and simple curved or angular outlines. In the foreground a raised arm ends in a clenched, striped-fingered hand, and at the right a figure in a green coat with two black buttons holds a pale, diagonal-handled object. Behind the crowd, flat blocks of maroon, grey and brown suggest rooftops and sky.
Franz Wilhelm Seiwert (1894–1933) was a German painter and printmaker. He studied at the Cologne School of Arts and Crafts from 1910 to 1914, then worked through Dada and other movements in Cologne before becoming a leading figure of Figurative Constructivism, co-founding the short-lived Stupid group with fellow Cologne Progressives. His paintings and woodcuts reduce workers and city dwellers to flattened, geometric figures arranged in tight, mural-like compositions, reflecting his commitment to a politically engaged, collective art. His work is held by the Museum Ludwig and the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, and the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal.
