This woodcut print, “Saint Martin,” by German artist Gunther Heinemann, portrays the famous story of the Saint dividing his cloak with a beggar. The simplified, angular forms and bold colors are characteristic of Expressionism, a style that flourished in the early 20th century. Heinemann's interpretation of the classic tale, with its emphasis on the stark contrast between rich and poor, is both powerful and evocative. The print is marked by a sense of urgency and emotion, reflecting the social and political upheavals of the time.
