Invocation 1919 - 1920

Max Weber's 1919-1920 woodcut print "Invocation" depicts a stylized figure standing next to a tree. The figure, with a head resembling a mask, stands with their arms crossed. The print's colors are muted, creating a sense of solemnity. The composition is simple, with the figure and tree filling the foreground and a faint sky in the background. The artwork captures a feeling of contemplation or prayer, reflecting the artist's exploration of Jewish mysticism and the expressive nature of Expressionism. The print's title, "Invocation," suggests a call for divine guidance, further emphasizing the theme of spirituality within the work.
