Nude IX 1918

"Nude IX" is a woodcut by German artist Georg Schrimpf, created in 1918. The work depicts two nude figures in a stylized, geometric landscape, reminiscent of the artist's interest in Expressionism and German Expressionist woodcut. Schrimpf's use of stark black and white contrasts creates a powerful and emotive image, emphasizing the figures' forms and the surrounding landscape. The artist's signature style of simplifying forms and using bold lines is prominent in this piece. The work is an example of Schrimpf's exploration of the human figure and its relationship to nature.
