Frans Masereel creates a universal reality from the material of the moment, the concrete and the local. The life of the big cities, the street and the fate of the masses in their historical context drive the artist, who fights for a humane world, and become a source of inspiration. Formally, the woodcutter behind the work is recognisable. Strong, dark lines combined with large, bright areas of colour create clear, simple compositions. Nevertheless, the style is loose and relaxed.
