About this work

This print shows two strange, blocky figures against a dark background. On the left, a towering shape with a helmet-like head and a patterned robe stands stiffly. To the right, a bird perches on a simple stool, its wings spread wide and its beak open as if calling out. The artist carved this image into wood, a method that makes the lines sharp and the black areas solid. The figures look like they’re made from simple shapes—circles for eyes, triangles for feathers—yet they feel alive in their oddness. Want to see more woodcuts like this? Look up woodcut.
