I really wish this subreddit added a little bit of context with the images.

Schlemmer was an avantgarde artist who did a lot of experimental theater. His most famous work is Triadisches Ballett which looks like some Nintendo 64 psychedelia with geometric forms and bright colors moving (well, actors in elaborate suits). This piece is all about creating constraints for movement and working around it.
