Study 1919 - 1920

Max Weber's "Study" is a woodcut from 1919-1920 that depicts a figure partially obscured by a hand. The figure's posture and the simplified form of the hand suggest a sense of grief or introspection. The woodcut's geometric forms and bold lines are characteristic of Weber's artistic style, which draws from both Expressionist and Cubist influences. The piece is a small work, measuring 8.3 x 3.2 cm, but its powerful imagery creates a strong emotional impact despite its diminutive size.
