Swamp 1942

"Swamp" is a 1942 woodcut by German artist Albert Urban (1909–1959), a prominent figure in Expressionism. The work features bold, gestural lines and expressive colors, characteristic of Urban's style. The central figure, a woman, is depicted in an exaggerated pose, emphasizing the emotional and psychological aspects of the subject matter. The use of heavy, dark lines and a limited color palette creates a sense of unease and mystery. The work is a powerful example of Urban's ability to convey emotion and mood through the medium of woodcut.
