Basket of Flowers 1907

Leopoldine Kolbe's "Basket of Flowers" (1907) is a striking example of the artist's unique style of woodcut. The piece is a small-scale, simplified depiction of a basket brimming with flowers against a bold black background. The use of graphic, flat shapes and limited color palette, reminiscent of Art Nouveau and early modernist styles, emphasizes the geometric forms and decorative patterns, creating a visually arresting image. The work is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
