Industry 1950

"Industry" is a 1950 woodblock print by S. Kaplan. It depicts a landscape with a factory in the background, likely representing the growing industrialization of the time. The work uses a simple, bold black and white palette with the factory and its smoke stacks dominating the composition. The stark contrast of the industrial scene against the foreground of stylized flowers creates a powerful visual juxtaposition. The print's simplicity and strong graphic elements are reminiscent of the style of German Expressionism.
