Frans Masereel (31 July 1889 – 3 January 1972) was a Flemish painter and graphic performer who worked mainly in France, known especially for his woodcuts focused on political and social issues, such as charge and capitalism. He completed beyond 40 wordless novels in his career, and in the middle of these, his greatest is generally said to be Passionate Journey.
Masereel’s woodcuts influenced Lynd Ward and unconventional graphic artists such as Clifford Harper, Eric Drooker, and Otto Nückel.
