By Erich Heckel, and titled &#8220;Wolken&#8221; (meaning &#8220;Clouds&#8221;), it depicts what appeared to me at first as an exploding volcano beyond a sea. Then I noticed a white bird in the upper center and fish-like creatures in the waves. Later I began to see that the whole &#8220;cloud&#8221; above the water seems to form a giant dragon, with its angry head to the right looming to the right. This sketch is a poor copy, is nowhere near as dynamic as the original, but it captures, I think, the general composition. With only a handful of known impressions, I&#8217;m unlikely to see this print again, except perhaps someday in a museum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day three hundred and nine: A very quick day trip back to the NY print fair brought me face to face with what might be my favorite German Expressionist woodcut.
