Le cinquième livre des stances 1927

"Le cinquième livre des stances" is a 1927 woodcut print by Belgian artist Bernard Essers (1893-1945). The print features a stylized tree with a winding trunk and an expansive canopy, situated within a small woodland scene. The print is rendered in black and white, creating a strong contrast between the dark trees and the light foliage. Essers's work often explored themes of nature and the natural world, and this print exemplifies his use of simplified forms and bold lines to convey a sense of organic beauty and the cycle of life.
