Lake in the Park 1914

"Lake in the Park" is a 1914 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Erich Heckel. The work features a stylized landscape of trees and water, reflecting the artist's fascination with nature and the natural world. Heckel's use of bold lines and simplified forms, characteristic of Expressionism, creates a strong sense of dynamism and emotion, capturing the essence of the scene rather than a realistic portrayal. The print's unique, textured surface, a result of the woodcut process, further enhances its visual impact. Heckel's work offers a powerful example of early 20th-century German Expressionist art, demonstrating the movement's bold and expressive style.
