Gostritz 1924

"Gostritz" is a 1924 etching by German artist Bernhard Kretzschmar (1889-1972). The artwork, which measures 24 × 28.5 cm (9 7/16 × 11 1/4 in.), depicts a narrow, winding street lined with simple houses and a small group of figures walking in the snow. The stark lines and minimalist details evoke a sense of isolation and quietude, characteristic of Kretzschmar's distinctive style. His etchings often capture the atmosphere of everyday life in small towns and villages, reflecting his keen observation and sensitive portrayal of rural landscapes and their inhabitants.
