Golgotha 1904 - 1937

"Golgotha," a woodcut by Dutch artist Bob Hanf, depicts a stylized and simplified scene of the crucifixion. Created between 1904 and 1937, the artwork showcases Hanf's mastery of the woodcut technique, characterized by bold black lines and stark contrasts. The figures are geometric and angular, highlighting the dramatic nature of the event. The use of diagonal lines adds a sense of movement and depth to the composition, while the background pattern evokes a sense of turmoil. The artwork's powerful imagery reflects the artist's interest in religious themes and the exploration of human suffering.
