Churchgoer with a Light c. 1917

Otto Lange's "Churchgoer with a Light" (c. 1917) is a vibrant woodcut print that exemplifies Expressionism. The bold, angular forms, contrasting colors, and simplified figures contribute to the work's emotional intensity. The central figure, a churchgoer holding a candle, is depicted in a highly stylized manner with an expressive face. The composition is dynamic, drawing the viewer's eye through the interplay of geometric shapes and rich hues. This artwork exemplifies Lange's distinctive style, which combined influences from German Expressionism and contemporary art movements.
