Ursula Schütz (1935) - by the Sea

This atmospheric graphic work by Ursula Schütz depicts a group of large, dark bears standing and resting on a sandy shoreline, with the sea visible in the background. The strong contrast between the almost black figures, warm earth tones and pale blue sky gives the work a dramatic yet natural character.
The expressive, textured lines create a sense of movement and depth, while the simplified forms give the animals a powerful, almost sculptural presence.
