Revolution is a 1920 ink by Franz Wilhelm Seiwert, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut shows a rough, jagged figure standing under a tree with twisted branches. The person’s body is stiff and angular, almost like a shadow. The background is simple, with just a few wavy lines that might be a fence or more trees. The artist used sharp, uneven lines to make everything look tense and unstable. The paper has a warm, off-white color, which makes the black ink stand out even more. Next, check out woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
Franz Wilhelm Seiwert (March 9, 1894 – July 3, 1933) was a German painter and sculptor in a constructivist style.
