Cirque de Paris 1922

"Cirque de Paris" (1922) by Georg Alexander Mathey is a woodcut print that captures the energy of a Parisian circus performance. The bold black and white forms create a dynamic composition, with a central female figure striking a dramatic pose against the backdrop of a Parisian skyline. The use of geometric shapes and sharp lines is characteristic of the artist's Expressionist style, conveying a sense of movement and emotion. Mathey's work often reflects the social and cultural life of his time, making "Cirque de Paris" a compelling visual document of early 20th-century Paris.
