Gargantua: Chapter IV 

"Gargantua: Chapter IV" is a woodcut by Bernard Reder, a prominent German Expressionist artist, who was known for his graphic and bold works. The print depicts a powerful and evocative scene, with a monstrous bull towering over a human figure, its large form filling the composition. Reder's style is evident in the bold, stark black and white lines, creating a sense of dynamism and unease. The work's theme likely draws inspiration from the satirical novel "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by François Rabelais, known for its grotesque and comedic depictions of human nature. The woodcut's bold style and captivating subject matter exemplify the expressive qualities of Expressionism, a movement that sought to capture the subjective inner experience of the artist.
