Leontine Pikarsky 1940 - 1943

This is a woodcut portrait of Leontine Pikarsky by Hungarian artist Imre Reiner, created between 1940 and 1943. Reiner's work is often characterized by its bold lines and expressive use of black and white, as seen in this portrait. The simplified forms and the strong contrasts in the image give it a sense of emotional intensity, a hallmark of the artist's style. The background of the portrait is notable, evoking a landscape with stylized trees and a moon, adding depth and symbolism to the composition.
