Scribes 1911

"Scribes" is a 1911 woodcut by German Expressionist artist Emil Nolde. The print depicts three figures, two of which appear to be scribes or intellectuals. The figures are rendered in a dark, expressive style, with heavy lines and strong contrasts, characteristic of Nolde's work. The composition is tight and intense, creating a sense of claustrophobia and psychological tension. This work exemplifies Nolde's exploration of religious themes and his distinctive use of color and line to convey emotion.
