Noc a Její Kouzla 1946

Václav Zykmund's 1946 print "Noc a Její Kouzla" (Night and its Magic) is a stark black and white etching that showcases his signature style. The print depicts a shadowy scene of three elongated figures standing in front of a building. The figures are formed with jagged lines and are almost skeletal in their appearance, adding to the unsettling and mysterious atmosphere of the work. The interplay of dark and light, along with the textured lines of the etching, creates a sense of depth and drama, characteristic of Zykmund's artistic vision.
