Not on view
Ink drawing on white paper, stylized angular face radiating straight lines downward over dome-like forms and jagged debris
Black and white ink drawing of a large squatting nude figure with hands raised to its head, surrounded by a dense cluster of smaller grotesque figures and distorted faces rendered in bold cross-hatching.
Ink drawing of a large standing nude figure, arms raised, surrounded by smaller crouching and fallen figures at the base; energetic curved lines radiate outward across the background in sweeping arcs.
Pen and ink drawing of a cloaked figure bearing a large cross, viewed from below against a dynamic background of radiating diagonal lines and scattered outline stars, rendered with dense crosshatching.
Intaglio print with expressive crosshatching; a cloaked figure in left foreground gestures toward a crowd of grotesque faces at center right, while a mechanical bird-like creature on wheels crouches below, and smaller figures appear in a diagonal band of light across the upper middle ground.
Woodcut print in black and white depicting a steep urban street scene with dense hatched linework. Crowds of elongated figures move through a narrow alley between angular buildings; in the foreground, distorted human forms sprawl and struggle. A sign reading 'SCHENKE' is visible at upper right.
Woodcut print in black and white; a large nude figure dominates the center, surrounded by swirling lines, collapsing buildings, and numerous small human figures in chaotic motion across the composition.
Black and white woodcut print with dense cross-hatching; a bearded face with radiating hair dominates the upper center, flanked by a solar eclipse and crescent moon; below, a large winged figure descends through a chaotic scene of tumbling human figures and tilting buildings against a dark background; artist's signature at lower left.
Black and white pen-and-ink drawing of a vaulted brick passageway with stone steps leading upward, a skeletal figure shrouded in dark robes looming beneath an arched doorway in the background, rendered with dense crosshatching
Etching or lithograph landscape with a steep dark cliff face covered in cacti dominating the right side, receding mountain ridges at center-left, and a luminous full moon breaking through swirling clouds above, rendered in fine crosshatched lines with dramatic contrast between deep blacks and pale grays.
Charcoal or graphite drawing, abstract composition in black and white with dense hatching; a cluster of concentric circles radiates from luminous white centers against dark, swirling organic forms and flame-like linear elements.
Black and white ink drawing, surrealist composition with fragmented organic and mechanical forms including a clock face at upper left, claw-like hands, a pendulum, and reclining figure, rendered with bold contrasting areas and cross-hatching.
Black and white ink drawing of fantastical figures among tall tree trunks; a central human-like figure with large round eyes faces forward while grotesque creature figures peer from above and below, rendered with stippled and expressive linework.
Black and white etching of a reclining nude figure in white against dark, curving forms, with a coiled crocodile above and tall palm-like foliage at left, beneath a luminous circular moon; dense cross-hatching throughout
Black and white etching with dense crosshatching; a robed, hooded figure with hands clasped stands in a shaft of light above a crowd of nude and semi-nude figures in contorted poses below.
