Not on view
Vertical print in bold black ink on cream paper, densely packed with contorted human figures, skeletal faces, and reaching hands rendered in energetic hatched lines
Intaglio print in black and white with dense, energetic mark-making; a curled nude figure occupies the lower right while ghostly figures and skeletal forms swirl through turbulent diagonal lines across the dark upper portion.
Intaglio print with dense cross-hatching; a mass of contorted nude figures crowd a dark, compressed space, rendered in high-contrast black and white with expressive, agitated line work.
Black and white intaglio print, rear view of a cloaked figure standing between dark conifer trees, overlooking a surreal landscape with windmills, a large white sun, a mounted horseman in the distance, and radiating arced lines in the sky, rendered in fine crosshatched detail.
Dark intaglio print with dense cross-hatching; a nude figure stands with arms raised toward a large luminous sphere against a night sky, flanked by ancient stone columns and seated statues receding into the background.
Black and white lithograph or charcoal drawing; a translucent, nude female figure stands at left before a large white moon, while a dark-robed, gaunt figure at right reaches toward her with claw-like fingers; reflective water and dramatic diagonal shadows in the background.
Woodcut print divided into four panels with bold black-and-white contrast and jagged, expressive line work. Upper panels depict crowded figural scenes with flame-like forms and a crescent moon. Lower left shows robed figures and a small building in a landscape; lower right features a seated figure at a table surrounded by angular, chaotic forms.
Woodcut print divided into four panels, densely carved with multiple human figures in dynamic, angular compositions; bold black-and-white contrasts with energetic gouged lines and hatching create a turbulent, crowded scene.
Black and white woodcut print, a hunched figure bending over rubble and scattered debris in the foreground, with a burst of light in the upper sky; bold, heavily hatched lines throughout.
Intaglio print with bold black lines on a lightly textured ground; three nude figures grouped at left recline and kneel, while a fourth standing figure at right reaches upward toward a radiant burst with wing-like forms at the upper edge.
Black and white print of a nude female figure reclining within a dark circular form, rendered with bold, gestural hatched lines against a pale lower margin.
Black and white print with heavy cross-hatching; a standing figure in dark clothing gestures toward a curved celestial canopy displaying stars, sun, moon, and planets, while a second figure crouches low in the foreground; a mountainous landscape visible beneath the canopy; monogram at lower right.
Black and white print with bold ink work, divided into upper and lower registers. Above, a reclining nude male figure lies on a flat surface beside a radiating sun and crescent moon motif. Below, swirling abstract forms and dark masses surround a large sphere containing a circular floral or rosette emblem. Small human figures appear in the middle ground amid curving, flame-like shapes.
