1956
This bold cardboard cut print presents an abstracted figure constructed from geometric black shapes arranged vertically against a cream ground. The composition suggests a stylized human form with stacked curved and linear elements that evoke a head, torso, arms, and legs in a manner characteristic of mid-twentieth-century modernist reduction. The artist employs the directness and graphic quality of the woodcut tradition to create a work that balances figuration with pure formal abstraction, reflecting the experimental printmaking practices that flourished in the Provincetown art community.
