Milleniums 1946

"Milleniums" is a 1946 woodcut by American artist Helen West Heller (1870-1955). This black and white print features a stylized composition with a central figure holding a celestial orb against a patterned background. The intricate detail in the background depicts various scenes of nature and industry, including a farm scene, a truck, a train bridge, and a group of people. Heller's work often explored themes of modern life and the human condition, and "Milleniums" can be interpreted as a commentary on the complexities of the modern world. The use of bold lines and contrasting light and dark values creates a sense of dynamism and energy.
