Paarden 1919

"Paarden" (Horses) is a woodcut print created by Mommie Schwarz in 1919. The artwork features two horses in a stylized, almost abstract manner, showcasing the artist’s unique approach to the subject matter. Schwarz, known for her expressive and simplified forms, captures the movement and energy of the horses in this piece. This work reflects the artistic trends of the early 20th century, particularly the emergence of Expressionism and its influence on woodcut printmaking. The stark black and white contrast, bold lines, and geometric shapes contribute to the dynamism and visual impact of the artwork.
