About the workIn 1925, while still a student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, the painter Bruno Goller was appointed to the team of artists tasked with designing the buildings for the "GeSoLei" exhibition. It was in this context that he created his design for the wall mosaic "Girls Playing". The composition depicts a group of figures clearly structured by rhythmic lines and ornamental forms. The content of the work reflects the central themes of the "GeSoLei" exhibition: the body, movement, youth and joie de vivre as symbolic representations of a healthy life. However, his design was never realised – the commission for the wall mosaics was ultimately awarded to professors from the art academy such as Heinrich Nauen and Johan Thorn Prikker.
