New Year's Card 1949

Hans Alexander Mueller's "New Year's Card" (1949) is a bold and graphic woodcut print that showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. The composition features a vibrant floral arrangement in a yellow vase, depicted with simplified, stylized forms that evoke the artist's unique approach to representing nature. The use of bold colors and strong black lines creates a sense of depth and dynamism, while the subtle shading adds nuance and texture. The inclusion of a book in the lower right corner adds a layer of symbolism, suggesting the connection between art and literature.
