This print shows a bearded face half-buried in a tangle of branches. The lines are sharp and uneven, like something carved or stamped. The background is solid black, making the light beige face and leaves stand out. The artist used a simple tool—linoleum blocks—to cut out the design. That’s why the edges look rough and the shapes feel a little jagged. Next, check out Morgner, Wilhelm to see more of his bold, textured prints.
