A robot outfit that I'd never seen

[David Kirk]

This popped up on my facebook from some avant-guard artists, Lavinia Schulz & Walter Holdt, from the 1920s.

It looks to me like the arms and legs are poked through a wall, so somebody is sitting just behind the wall.

I saw the helm and the sword first, and so the knight stumbled into my thoughts...

She was an advantgarde artist - the costumes and masks were found later in the 80s and some museums showed them in Germany and Switzerland. 

 

Here is more….hope the link works, fantastic masks….or just google her name

here some more masks from the early 20s (not AI generated)

some look really fantastic, almost like aliens or insects or a mix 

And yes The blue knight might not be a robot.

Very kooky. It's funny that the old black and white gives the feeling of being from another era, but when you see them in color they look like they could have been made last week. That fellow doesn't really give a knight vibe so much as a robot, but that may just be because of the crude geometric construction. It looks like something my brother and I would have parted with when we cleaned out my mother's attic last year.

Cool stuff!  Thanks for sharing David - and thanks for the history, Gernot!   Fun stuff!

Wild stuff! The head of the blue knight reminds me of those old tombstone radios of the time.
