A Vision c. late 1930s

"A Vision" is a powerful lithograph created by Carl Hoeckner in the late 1930s. This expressive artwork features two figures, one appearing to reach out to the other, against a dynamic background. The use of dark shadows and stark contrasts creates a sense of drama and mystery, inviting the viewer to contemplate the meaning behind the figures' interaction. The swirling lines and abstract shapes in the background contribute to the work's sense of movement and energy, suggesting a cosmic or spiritual dimension. Hoeckner's signature style, influenced by Expressionism, is evident in this lithograph, which captures a moment of intense emotion and psychological depth.
