Static and Revolving 1947

"Static and Revolving" (1947) is a wood engraving by American artist Louis Schanker (1903-1981). The composition features abstract, geometric shapes rendered in brown and blue against a black background. The forms seem to dance and swirl, creating a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Schanker's abstract style. The intricate lines and textures of the wood engraving add depth and dimension to the artwork, evoking a feeling of both stillness and dynamism.
