Untitled (Mother and Child) c. 1930

Lydia Gibson's "Untitled (Mother and Child)", a black and white woodcut print from c. 1930, depicts a mother holding a young child. The stark contrast of black and white accentuates the lines of the figures, contributing to the print's expressive quality. The floral pattern of the mother's clothing and the light radiating from the window behind her suggest the themes of motherhood, warmth, and hope. Gibson’s bold lines and stylized figures are characteristic of the woodcut style and create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. This powerful image captures the essence of maternal love and protection.
