Cormorants (#4)

Three black cormorants perch on a slender branch against a pale cream background in this silkscreen print. Rendered in bold, expressive black strokes, the birds are depicted with characteristic long necks and pointed beaks, their plumage suggested through gestural mark-making. The composition captures the birds in various contemplative poses, emphasizing their elegant forms and aquatic nature. Created within the mid-twentieth-century Provincetown artistic tradition, this work exemplifies the region's engagement with natural observation and modernist printmaking techniques.
