This painting looks like a city made of sharp lines and blocks. Buildings are stacked in uneven shapes, some leaning or overlapping. The whole scene is in black and white, with rough edges and a gritty texture. The artist used wood to carve the image, then printed it. That’s why it looks like it’s made of wood pieces glued together. Look up Lyonel Feininger to see more of his bold, geometric style.
