Two Nudes in Boat Under Starry Sky 1919

Heinrich Campendonk's 1919 woodcut, "Two Nudes in Boat Under Starry Sky," showcases his mastery of the medium. The stark black and white composition, typical of German Expressionism, depicts two nude figures in a boat, the night sky above them filled with stars. The simplified, stylized forms and bold lines add to the artwork's dramatic quality and evoke a sense of mystery and emotion. This powerful imagery exemplifies Campendonk's artistic approach, characterized by bold shapes, dynamic lines, and a focus on the emotional and symbolic elements of the human experience.
