Nativity 1925

Adolf Hölzel's "Nativity" from 1925 is a colorful and abstract depiction of the traditional Christian story. Hölzel, known for his contributions to German Expressionism, uses bold colors and simplified forms to convey the scene, breaking from traditional representational art. The figures are rendered with flat planes of color, while the landscape behind them is filled with vibrant, geometric shapes that suggest a stained-glass window effect. Hölzel's unique approach makes this "Nativity" a captivating and modern interpretation of a timeless subject.
