René Herbert Paresce
Das Querschnittbuch 19231923

Not on view
Woodcut print in black and white, angular figure of a man in a dark suit leaning over a surface, with a stylized cityscape behind him, 1921
Line drawing of a crowded interior scene with multiple figures; in the foreground, a bare-shouldered woman in profile faces right, beside a mustachioed man; background figures include a man in a bowler hat, rendered in loose, expressive linework.
Lithograph in soft graphite tones depicting a standing figure carrying a large sack over one shoulder, wearing a short tunic and boots, with a tree and buildings sketched loosely in the background.
Woodcut print in black and white; a skull-like face with hollow eyes and bared teeth dominates the foreground, while bare trees, angular rooftops, and striped and checkerboard patterns fill the background; bold gouge marks and high contrast throughout.
Ink drawing of a figure leaning forward over a table scattered with small objects, rendered in energetic cross-hatched and gestural black strokes against a white ground.
