Geranium at Night Window 1932

"Geranium at Night Window," a woodblock print by Karl Knaths, dates back to 1932. The work is known for its bold, simplified forms and vivid colors. The central motif of the geranium plant, rendered with a flat, graphic style, dominates the composition. Knaths uses a limited color palette of greens, reds, and purples to create a sense of depth and vibrancy. The stylized leaves and stems of the geranium, paired with the geometric patterns of the window frame and the curtain, exemplify Knaths' modernist approach. The artwork, likely created as a personal study of form and color, offers a glimpse into Knaths' artistic language and his fascination with the natural world.
