Wander the gallery. Look at the art. Be polite. If you feel able please post some great art :)
Fritz Schwimbeck's "Tod im All" (Death in Space) is a work from his 1919 portfolio "Werden-Vergehen" (Creation-Death). Schwimbeck was a German Symbolist artist active in the early 20th century, known for his allegorical and mystical artworks. "Tod im All" represents the concept of death encompassing all of existence, with the human form dwarfed by the vastness of the cosmos.

I wonder if he saw battle during WWI, I wouldn't be surprised
He lived through both of them.
After World War I, Schwimbeck's focus shifted to subjects of the Neue Sachlichkeit, or New Objectivity. He acted on the imperative to react to the turmoil of the Weimar Era, moving his gaze from the fantastic to the objective truth
Super cool image, thanks for sharing, kind of reminds me of Dore (not sure how to accent the e in his name from my phone) ! Also, thanks so much for putting the date of the work next to the artist's name in the title. I love this community and seeing this type of naming convention in the post titling makes a big difference in understanding what's being shared!
