Handbewegung 1961

"Handbewegung" (1961) is an etching by German artist Gerhard Hoehme (1920-1989). The print features an abstract composition of swirling lines and marks in shades of brown and black, creating a sense of movement and energy. This work showcases Hoehme's mastery of printmaking techniques, particularly his use of etching to achieve expressive textures and tonal variations. The abstract form of the work exemplifies the artist's interest in exploring the expressive potential of line and gesture, which are characteristic of German Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism.
