Acker mit Weib (Woman in a Field)

About this work

This image shows a black-and-white pattern of irregular shapes. The design looks like clumps of earth or clouds, with some thin lines cutting through the middle. The edges are uneven, and the whole piece has a rough, textured feel. The artist used a printing method that leaves marks from the wood blocks. The small writing at the bottom names the artist and the year—1912. Next, check out the technique: woodcut.
