Masks & Marchers 1938

Leon Bibel's 1938 woodcut print, *Masks & Marchers*, depicts a group of people marching through a city, perhaps in protest, under the looming gaze of two masks. The simplified forms and bold lines are characteristic of the artist's Expressionist style, emphasizing the energy and emotion of the scene. The masks, one with a serious expression and the other laughing, symbolize the duality of human nature and the complexities of social movements. This artwork was likely created in response to the social and political upheavals of the time, reflecting the artist's engagement with the contemporary world.
