Alexander Friedrich
Menschen 2, no. 38/45, Heft 4 (1919)1919

Not on view
Horizontal abstract print in black and gray, with dripping arch forms, a large oval of swirling brushwork, and small diamond ornaments on a pale ground with black corners
Woodcut print in stark black and white, irregular block shape with an abstracted face featuring a single large eye, swirling hair, and geometric patterned elements; bold gouge marks create radiating lines and curved forms.
Woodcut print in black and white, dense abstract composition with fragmented geometric and organic forms suggesting chess pieces — crowns, knights, and pawns — arranged across a grid-like field of panels with radiating diagonal lines, hatched textures, and bold contrasts between solid black and white areas.
