Indian Motif 1943 - 1944

"Indian Motif" is a 1943-1944 woodcut by Werner Drewes, an American artist known for his abstract work in the style of German Expressionism. This artwork features a vibrant composition of black and white geometric shapes, which are reminiscent of the artist's fascination with geometric patterns found in Native American art. The simplified forms and bold lines create a dynamic and visually engaging experience, highlighting Drewes's skill in manipulating negative space and emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow.
