Sophie Taeuber-Arp

Military Guards (Die Wachen), 1918.

Sophie Taeuber was a Swiss Dada artist during the first half of the 20th century. This particular piece was created to be a marionette for a retelling of the 18th century play "The King Stag" by Carlo Gozzi.

I like this piece because it reminds me of some of the abstract stop motion animation work created by Tim Burton, and the band Tool.
