Large-format woodcuts in abstract yet figurative style characterize the art of German graphic artist HAP Grieshaber (1909—1981). As an “homme engagé,” he used the traditional woodcut as a means of expressing his social and political views and vision. This panoramic exhibition situates the artist in the context of the woodcut revolution in Germany and examines the socio-political positions he formulated with and in this medium.
