Milliner (Putzmacherin II) 1922

"Milliner (Putzmacherin II)" is a 1922 lithograph by German artist Karl Hofer (1878-1955). The artwork depicts a woman, likely a milliner, seated with a hat in her lap. The composition is rendered in a simplified and geometric style, characteristic of Hofer's work during this period. The subject is presented in a reduced and abstract manner, emphasizing form and line over detail. The lithograph’s stark black and white contrasts, angular shapes, and expressive lines contribute to its powerful and expressive feel, reflecting the artistic trends of the early 20th century.
