This print shows three tall, simple figures standing close together. They’re cut from black shapes against a light background, with sharp lines and no detail. The figures look like they’re holding hands or leaning on each other. The artist used a tool called a linoleum cut—like a stamp but carved into linoleum. The figures have no faces, just flat, clean shapes. Look up August Macke next to see how he used bold colors and shapes in other works.
