Light

The lithography is part of a series of works with pronounced expressionist traits through which the artist clearly captures the shortcomings of interwar capitalist society. In the lower right of the composition one can see a male figure walking in the light, his form casting a shadow on the ground. Although the person does not seem to have any specific traits to distinguish him from others, it is clear that he is allowed to walk in the light, to cast a mark of his own on earth. Meanwhile, on the right periphery of the composition, another figure sits on the bench, oblivious to his surroundings. Trees symbolized as huge leaves appear to engulf the sitting figure in a protective way, blocking the light, but the question remains: is it defending or deluding him?
