Hope 1946

"Hope" (1946) is a woodcut print by German artist Hans Orlowski. The artwork depicts a young woman with a bird on her shoulder, both looking upwards. The woman is clothed in a loose garment and her hands are resting on a pile of bricks. The bird, a dove, is a symbol of peace and hope. The bricks could be seen as a symbol of destruction and the need to rebuild. The artwork likely reflects the hope for a better future after the devastation of World War II.
