Zwei Nackte Frauen (Two Nude Women) c. 1926

"Zwei Nackte Frauen (Two Nude Women)" is a woodcut by Moissey Kogan from c. 1926. The print depicts two nude women, one seated and one kneeling, in a simplified and stylized manner. The bold black lines and simplified forms are characteristic of woodcut art, and the composition creates a sense of intimacy and connection between the figures. Kogan's use of black and white creates a dramatic contrast and emphasizes the starkness of the subject matter. This work showcases Kogan's mastery of the woodcut technique and his interest in the human form.
