Street Scene after the Rain (Straßenszene, Nach dem Regen)

About this work

This print shows two figures standing under an umbrella in a crowded street. The shapes are sharp and angular, almost like cut-out paper. Raindrops and splashes cover the ground, and the background is filled with jagged lines that look like trees or buildings. The artist used a simple black-and-white style, focusing on bold outlines and flat areas of color. Notice how the umbrella and clothing fold into geometric shapes—nothing looks soft or rounded.
