General note:

Van der Rohe was an innovator in modern architecture, best known for the use of industrial steel and plate glass in skyscrapers. Karsh depicts the architect as if meditating on the purity of geometrical shapes, represented in the tilted right angle which forms an upward-pointing angle.
