Woodcut print on cream paper, cover of the periodical Saturn, with bold blackletter type and an Expressionist interior scene of a seated figure in angular black lines
Woodcut print in black and white; a standing figure in a dark suit and hat occupies the center, surrounded by angular, fragmented interior elements including framed pictures on the wall and geometric shapes, rendered with bold gouged lines and high contrast.
Linocut portrait of a woman's face in three-quarter view, rendered in high-contrast black and white with bold simplified forms; dark hair merges with the black background, leaving the face as a stark white shape with minimal incised features.
