Woodcutters 1932

Mikuláš Galanda's "Woodcutters" (1932) is a striking example of modernist graphic art. This simple yet powerful drawing depicts two figures, likely woodcutters, standing in a forest setting, with the emphasis on their geometric shapes and simplified forms. The use of cross-hatching and hatched lines adds texture and depth to the work, while the minimal background underscores the figures' presence. The artwork reflects the artist's interest in the rural life and working class, often depicting common laborers through an artistic lens. Galanda, who tragically died young, is remembered for his distinctive style and powerful representation of social themes in his art.
