Library
Artist: Franz Sedlacek
Circa: 1926
Franz Sedlacek, a prominent Austrian painter associated with New Objectivity and early Surrealism, created atmospheric works that blend dreamlike stillness with unsettling mystery. In this piece, a lone figure stands before an immense wall of books, facing a glowing bird illuminated by golden light. The composition captures Sedlacek’s fascination with enigmatic spaces and psychological tension, turning a quiet library into a scene charged with surreal wonder.
