Houses, Cobalt 1932

"Houses, Cobalt" is a 1932 woodblock print by Canadian artist Franklin Carmichael. The piece depicts a snowy winter scene with houses nestled into a hillside, rendered in a simplified, geometric style characteristic of the Group of Seven, a prominent Canadian art movement of the early 20th century. The muted palette of blues, grays, and yellows creates a sense of calm and serenity, evoking a quiet winter landscape. Carmichael's work is known for its expressive use of color and line, capturing the essence of the Canadian landscape.
