May 26th 1956

"May 26th", a 1956 print by Austrian artist Roland Ginzel, is an abstract composition of black and white shapes that are reminiscent of broken shards of glass or pieces of metal. The work is a striking example of the artist's experimentation with printmaking techniques and his interest in exploring the interplay of light and shadow. The use of black ink on a light background creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting viewers to examine the interplay of shapes and spaces. Ginzel's works often explore themes of fragmentation and reconstruction, reflecting the complexities of the postwar world.
