Pantagruel: Chapter LXVII 1942

Bernard Reder’s 1942 woodcut, “Pantagruel: Chapter LXVII,” depicts a scene from the novel *Pantagruel* by François Rabelais. The artwork features a grotesque, partially-visible face at the bottom of the composition and a dark figure at the top of the image, both appearing to be characters from the novel. The background is filled with swirling, angular lines and shadowy shapes, creating a chaotic and unsettling atmosphere, characteristic of Reder's Expressionist style.
