"Fencing" is a 1948 woodcut by German artist Hans Alexander Mueller (1888-1962). This work depicts two figures engaged in a fencing match. Their bodies are simplified into geometric lines, which are placed against a background of intersecting lines and a curved shape. The artist's minimalist style and focus on line highlight the dynamic movement of the figures in this captivating print.
