Deux hommes se rencontrent, chacun croyant l’autre d’un rang plus élevé

Paul Klee, 1903

The image shows two elongated, curved figures with exaggerated limbs, bending towards each other in a posture that creates an abstract and surreal scene. The figures resemble hunched, anthropomorphic beings with features that connect them to familiar creatures such as humans and apes. Their bent arms and legs form sinewy, distorted lines that contrast with the rocky surface they stand on. The figures appear engaged in a silent conversation in the abstract composition.
