His work is deeply rooted in the political and social struggles of the Weimar Republic. Using a constructivist vocabulary, Schmitz depicted the proletarian condition, industry, and class struggle. His woodcuts from the 1920s are characterized by a stark black-and-white contrast and a reduction of the human figure to geometric components, reflecting the group's desire for a collective, non-individualistic art.Condition: Very Good — This vintage/antique item has no defects, but it may show slight traces of use, Dimensions: Height: 28.0 cm / Width: 28.0 cm I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
