Woodcut

Woodcut is process in which a wooden block is carved so that those parts not intended to print are cut away, leaving the design raised. The medium of woodcut is wood to create a print. I choose a woodcut work by artist Emil Nolde. The woodcut print is called "servant."Woodcut is supposed to be a relief process, therefore I see much pain and grief in the work of Emil Nolde. I feel that his work is created to relive stress. I found that Nolde was rejected from Munich Academy of Fine Arts. I feel his rejection has inspired his work.
