Der Vogel & Sein Nest 1947

"Der Vogel & Sein Nest" (The Bird & Its Nest) is a 1947 woodcut by Hungarian artist Imre Reiner (1900-1987). The artwork depicts a stylized bird perched on a branch with its wings outstretched and its head turned back towards the viewer. The bird is surrounded by detailed hatching that emphasizes its feathery form and the intricate lines of its nest. The graphic style of the work is characteristic of Reiner's artistic practice and reflects his interest in nature and the expressive power of line.
