Prinzessin, from HMPechstein Holzschnitte 1919

A bold and expressive woodcut by German Expressionist Max Pechstein, this print depicts a princess rendered in his characteristic raw, angular style with strong contrasting areas of black and white. The figure is simplified into powerful, gestural forms that reflect the emotional intensity and primal energy central to the Expressionist movement. Published as part of the 1919 portfolio *HMPechstein Holzschnitte*, this work exemplifies Pechstein's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to convey psychological depth through stark, graphic lines.
