Markt II 1926

"Markt II" (1926) is a woodcut by Dutch artist Jo Bezaan, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This work depicts a bustling marketplace, with a throng of figures rendered in a stark, black and white style characteristic of Bezaan's Expressionistic approach. The artist's use of bold lines and simplified forms create a sense of dynamism and energy, emphasizing the crowds and the crowded market environment. This work is a testament to Bezaan's skill in capturing the essence of daily life through powerful and evocative imagery.
