Description from the seller

Woodcut L'avion 6/25 by Frans Masereel
Frans Masereel (1889–1972)
Powerful woodcut / wood engraving by one of the most influential graphic artists of the 20th century.
Frans Masereel gained international fame with his expressive, black-and-white wood engravings in which he depicts social themes with sharp lines and strong contrasts: social inequality, war, freedom, and the human condition. His work aligns with Expressionism and is often seen as a precursor to the graphic novel.
This image is exemplary of Masereel's handwriting: sober, direct and emotionally charged. The imagery is timeless and remains strikingly relevant today, which makes his work highly sought after by collectors of modern graphics.
