Political Speaker

Conrad Felixmüller

German, 1897 - 1977

In these two woodcuts, Conrad Felixmüller conveys an image of an impassioned speaker for the rights of workers. The distorted forms exploit the vivid graphic potential of the roughly-carved wood block. The black-and-white print was made using one block, whereas the layered color version was printed using several blocks.
