Pelikan
Walther Klemm
Circa: 1908

With a bold sweep of wing and a muted background wash, Walther Klemm’s Pelikan demonstrates his mastery of form, texture, and atmosphere. A founding member of the Berlin Secession and a key figure in early 20th-century printmaking, Klemm brought a lyrical intensity to his portrayals of the natural world. This woodcut—rendered in delicate tones of ivory, charcoal, and rust—distills the pelican in mid-flight, its wings outstretched in quiet grandeur. Klemm’s stylization captures not only the bird’s physical grace but its solemn, elemental presence.
