The City
1925
A contemporary of George Grosz and Tristan Tzara, Belgian artist Frans Masereel produced several collections of "woodcut stories." These quickly lead to the artist's widespread popularity in France and the United States. The images in Die Stadt are composed of the simplest colors, black and white, yet represent urban life in the '20s in rich detail.
