The heart c. 1930

Karl Wiener's "The Heart" (c. 1930) is a powerful and poignant woodcut print that depicts a bleeding heart against a dark background. The stylized heart, rendered in vibrant red, drips with blood-like crimson, creating a strong visual metaphor for pain, loss, or emotional distress. The textured background, created through the woodcut process, adds depth and a sense of urgency to the image. Wiener, known for his expressive use of color and form, masterfully evokes raw emotions in this striking piece.
