Shepherd c. 1945s - 1955s

"Shepherd" is a woodcut print created by American artist Irving Amen sometime between the 1940s and 1950s. The print depicts a lone shepherd standing against a stark, geometric background. Amen, known for his bold and expressive style, utilizes black and teal hues to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Amen's fascination with the human form, rendered in a stylized and slightly distorted manner, highlighting the shepherd's isolation and introspection.
