Roar of Space 1919

Johannes Molzahn's "Roar of Space" (1919) is a bold woodcut print that exemplifies the abstract style of early 20th-century German Expressionism. Characterized by its stark black and white contrast, the artwork employs geometric shapes and dynamic lines to create a sense of energy and movement, reflecting the turbulent spirit of the post-war era. The composition, featuring overlapping forms and a fragmented perspective, alludes to the chaotic nature of modern life and the artist's own internal world. While devoid of recognizable imagery, "Roar of Space" resonates with viewers through its powerful visual language, inviting interpretations and exploring the abstract realm of the human psyche.
