This poster shows bold black shapes on a light background. There’s a central figure of two people dancing or embracing, simplified into sharp lines. On either side, stylized palm trees fill small boxes. Big, uneven letters spell out German words like *"Einladung"* (invitation) and *"Ausstellung"* (exhibition), with addresses and the group name *"Brücke"* at the bottom. The rough, hand-cut edges of the letters and shapes make it look raw and urgent. This was likely made fast, with a DIY feel. Look up woodcut to see how this printing technique works.
