Pussy Willows 1903

"Pussy Willows" is a 1903 woodcut by Swedish-American artist Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt. The artwork depicts a wintry scene with a small village by a lake, with bare trees and crows in the foreground. This print, typical of Nordfeldt's early work, demonstrates his mastery of the woodcut medium, using a limited color palette and stylized forms to capture a tranquil landscape. The artist's use of bold lines and flat planes evokes a sense of stillness and isolation, a characteristic of his later work as well. The print is a beautiful example of Nordfeldt's ability to capture the essence of nature, and its quiet beauty is sure to resonate with viewers.
