Two People 1910

"Two People" (1910) is a woodcut by Erich Heckel, a prominent German artist associated with the Expressionist movement. The woodcut features two figures, a woman and a man, whose faces are prominently displayed. The stark black and white palette, bold lines, and expressive figures are characteristic of the Expressionist style. The piece reflects the artistic exploration of raw emotion and subjective experience prominent in early 20th-century art. Heckel's bold strokes and simplified forms give the work a sense of immediacy and raw power.
