Die Graphik Ernst Ludwig Kirchners bis 1924 von Gustav Schiefler Band I bis 1916 (The Graphic Art of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to 1924 by Gustav Schiefler Volume 1 to 1916)

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Gustav Schiefler (author)

National Gallery of Art

This image features bold, angular lines and geometric shapes in an abstract style. The shapes form the figures of two stylized human characters. One figure appears to be leaning over a surface with a rectangular object, while the other stands upright with a raised hand. The figures and text are in a black-and-purple color scheme, and the design is reminiscent of woodcut prints. The placement of text and figures suggests elements commonly associated with book cover designs or advertisements.
