Illustration to V. Hofmannsthal, "Andreas" 1939

Imre Reiner's "Illustration to V. Hofmannsthal, "Andreas"" (1939) is a woodcut print depicting two figures, one in a large hat, the other in a coat. The artist utilizes heavy lines and stark contrasts to create a dramatic and expressive scene. The figures are rendered in a stylized manner, echoing the emotional intensity of the literary work it was created to illustrate. This artwork is a powerful example of the graphic style that characterized Reiner's artistic output.
