St. Joris 1920 - 1923

"St. Joris" is a black and white woodcut by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, created between 1920 and 1923. The artwork is currently held by the Rijksmuseum and features an abstract design of swirling lines and forms, characteristic of Wierink's style, influenced by Art Nouveau. The woodcut's bold black and white contrasts create a dramatic and dynamic composition, hinting at a possible depiction of the legendary Saint George. This artwork is a valuable example of Wierink's unique artistic vision and the evolution of printmaking in the early 20th century.
