/internal/media/dispatcher/126889/fullLegend (Adoration of the Angels in Green)1908[Adolf Hölzel]Adolf HölzelPainting on textile Adolf Hölzel’s painting Legend is composed of intense hues of green. It shows several groups of figures in front of almost monochrome planes of color. With their stooped poses and wing-like forms, some resemble people in devout prayer or angels. Yet the interest of the painter and art theorist was not so much the Christian narrative as a coherent pictorial composition. To this end, Hölzel harmoniously attuned the arrangement of forms and colors on the canvas. In fact, it is only our culturally influenced way of seeing that leads us to interpret this motif as a religious scene. Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/90545/rdf
