Rural Route #3 1960

"Rural Route #3" is a 1960 color woodcut by American artist Mabel Amelia Hewit (1903-1984). The print depicts a simplified rural scene, with a red house, a smaller house, and trees with distinct, geometric forms. Hewit's signature style, evident in this piece, utilizes bold colors and flat planes to create a sense of visual harmony and a touch of idyllic tranquility. The artist's work often celebrates the American landscape, and this piece serves as a fine example of her distinctive approach to the subject.
