Fritz Eichenberg's woodcut "April" (1935-1943) depicts a New York City street scene with a mounted policeman, a pedestrian, and another man. The artist used black ink to create a strong contrast between the light and dark areas, lending a sense of drama to the scene. The use of bold lines, deep shadows, and expressive figures are hallmarks of the artist's style. "April" exemplifies Eichenberg's mastery of woodcut, capturing a moment in urban life with expressive detail. The piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
