#3 Linocut/Linoleum Cut

Carl Eugen Keel 

'Bar' - Woodcut

He was a Swiss painter and is known for his woodcuts, usually portraying town life, and often hand-colored. 
I enjoy the use of shape he incorporates in order to bring out the highlights in this composition. The large cut-out of the Bar catches my attention and I used this as inspiration. Amoung the highlights emerges the shapes from the shadows allowing him to create shapes with both the positive and negative space.
