Dance of Death in Seven Tempos (Dood dans in zeven tempo)
Artist: Nicolas Eekman
set of seven woodcuts and original presentation folder; folder is a brown, rough textured paper with the work's title and artist's name printed in square block of text in upper half of front side; inside the cover page is a single sheet of yellowing paper accordion folded into eight sections; the first seven sections are figurative interpretations of the dance of death--figures are rendered with sharp angles and emphasized musculature; the scenery is ghoulish boasting dead and aggressive animals, menacing natural landscapes, alienating cityscapes; each woodcut is in black and white
