Adam and Eve 1921

Georg Alexander Mathey's 1921 woodcut "Adam and Eve" depicts the biblical figures in a stylized, simplified form. The black and white composition features stark contrasts, with bold lines and a dynamic composition. The figures are rendered with geometric shapes, and the foliage is rendered in a bold, stylized manner. The artist's use of the woodcut process gives the piece a distinct texture and a sense of immediacy, making it a fascinating example of Expressionist woodcuts.
