Passagieren 1935

"Passagieren" is a 1935 woodcut by Dutch artist Tinus van Doorn. The artwork features a bold, graphic style, typical of woodcut, and depicts a sailor smoking a pipe. The composition is dynamic and fragmented, with the sailor's face juxtaposed against a cityscape and a ship. The artist uses stark black and white contrasts to create a powerful and expressive image. The title, "Passagieren," which means "passengers" in Dutch, hints at the theme of travel and maritime life. "Passagieren" exemplifies van Doorn's mastery of woodcut technique and his ability to convey emotion through the medium.
