Woodcut Vorschrift 1935 - 1942

Charlotte Angus's "Woodcut Vorschrift" (1935-1942) is a vibrant woodcut depicting the Garden of Eden, a popular subject in art history. The central image is a stylized tree with Adam and Eve on either side. A snake, symbolizing temptation, wraps around the tree, while various colorful birds and flowers frame the scene. The artist's use of bold colors and simple forms creates a naive and charming aesthetic, characteristic of folk art. This intricate detail in the woodcut artwork brings a strong narrative that makes the viewer feel like they are looking into the story.
