Untitled woodcut print 1919

This woodcut print by German-American artist Winold Reiss, created in 1919, features a stark black and white composition with a strong sense of graphic design. Two figures stand atop a massive, geometric face, with a celestial background of clouds and stars. The print is a powerful example of Expressionism, a movement in art that prioritized emotional expression over realistic representation. The use of strong lines, bold shapes, and dramatic contrasts contributes to the intense and enigmatic nature of the artwork.
