This woodcut shows two people in a small room. One person stands with their arms crossed, looking tense. The other leans against a doorframe, half-dressed, holding a cane. The lines are sharp and angular, with bold black shapes against a light background. The artist used woodcut—a printmaking method where the design is carved into wood. The simplicity of the shapes and strong contrasts draw your eye to their body language. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
