Artist, American, 1902 - 1947

The image shows a woodcut print of a landscape with a barn and farmhouses nearby. The viewpoint is from ground level, looking at the buildings and a mountain in the background. The horizon is defined by the line where the dark tree line meets the mountain's silhouette. The style features bold, clean lines and sharp contrasts typical of woodcut technique. The monochrome color palette includes blacks, whites, and shades of gray. Fields and trees lead to the mountain, depicted with a pattern of lines emphasizing its presence.
