About the Artwork

Karl Wiener drew Skeleton (The 150 Leaves) in 1944, the year air raid sirens started howling over Vienna. His grinning guest arrives late to a carnival nobody else survived. The jaw hangs loose. Both eye sockets drink graphite until they shine like cellar coal.

Below that chattering grin, a ruff collar curdles into shadow. The harlequin costume splinters into zigzag shards of bone ivory and sage parchment, every diamond scratched in by restless pencil crosshatching. Pierrot lost his face and kept the outfit. One arm shoots up at the far right edge, its bony fist clawing at a carbon black sky like a passenger hailing the last tram home.

Danse macabre has crept through Austrian art since the plague years. Wiener, a Viennese artist stuck inside a city swallowed by the Third Reich, smuggled that old memento mori into his private cycle of The 150 Leaves. The laughter here rattles like cutlery in an emptied dining room.

Now this skull art phone case keeps the jester in your pocket. Death waves hello each time you answer.

Origin Story

Karl Wiener (1901–1949) was the Austrian painter and graphic artist whose socially charged modernism never quite found its market. Raised in a Graz social-democratic family, he studied at the state art school, the Vienna School of Applied Arts under Berthold Löffler, and the Academy under Rudolf Jettmar. Travel and scholarship exposed him to international movements; his early work absorbed New Objectivity and Expressionism, echoing George Grosz, John Heartfield, Otto Dix, and Kurt Schwitters. He made strikingly early collages, hinting at later Pop Art, while pen-and-ink "grotesques" fused war's horror, Nazi rule, and private despair into visions of warning.

Earning his living as a teacher and graphic designer, he survived the Nazi era in obscurity. A lifelong preoccupation with suicide haunted him; dismissed in 1947, he killed himself in his Vienna studio in 1949.
