The Influence of the Moon 1950

"The Influence of the Moon" is a 1950 print by Karl Schrag, a significant printmaker born in 1912. This artwork is a landscape composition featuring an abstract approach to the subject. The artist utilizes a unique combination of black and yellow ink, with a prominent crescent moon emerging from a dark cloud. The print conveys a sense of mystery and the influence of the moon on the natural world. The use of diagonal lines and abstract shapes creates a dynamic and expressive composition, typical of Schrag's style. The artwork is a fine example of the artist's exploration of light and shadow, which is visible in the contrast between the dark clouds and the yellow background.
