Periphery 1924

"Periphery" is a woodcut by Mikuláš Galanda, created in 1924. The work depicts a solitary figure in silhouette, walking through a dimly lit interior. The composition is simplified, with sharp lines and contrasting black and white tones, characteristic of Galanda's artistic style. The scene evokes a sense of isolation and mystery, a hallmark of the artist's exploration of human existence in a rapidly changing world. The use of woodcut technique and a dark, stark atmosphere create a haunting, expressionistic vision.
