Revolution 1932

"Revolution" (1932) is a woodcut by German artist Erich Müller-Kraus, notable for its stark black and white composition and geometric forms. The central figure, depicted as a stylized human form, is crucified on a cross, surrounded by other individuals represented in a simplified, almost abstract manner. The work's use of strong lines and contrasting light and dark areas reflects the style of German Expressionism, while its theme of revolution and sacrifice resonates with the turbulent socio-political landscape of the early 20th century.
