Culture 1947

"Culture" is a woodcut print created by Hans Jelinek in 1947. The artwork depicts a stylized figure, reminiscent of a classical statue, amidst a modern urban setting. Jelinek's signature style, characterized by bold black and white lines and geometric shapes, is evident in the composition. The juxtaposition of classical motifs with contemporary elements like a radio and signage for "Coca-Cola" highlights the artist's exploration of cultural shifts and the impact of modern life. The print is a powerful commentary on the changing landscape of society in the post-war era.
