Georgetown House 1959

Aline Fruhauf's "Georgetown House" is a black and white woodcut depicting a charming, three-story house with a distinctive, steep roof. The house is rendered in simple, geometric forms, with emphasis on the unique architectural details, such as the large windows and the porch with its steps leading down to the viewer. The artist's use of line and shadow creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the scene. The figure walking down the steps further emphasizes the sense of perspective and adds a human element to the composition. Fruhauf was a prolific artist known for her woodcuts and lithographs, often capturing the architecture and urban landscapes of her time. This artwork showcases her skillful use of black and white to create a compelling and visually striking composition.
