Early Winter Sunrise 1938

"Early Winter Sunrise" is a woodblock print created in 1938 by American artist Dee Oldham Joesting (1907-2007). The print depicts a simplified, geometric landscape with a focus on the buildings and the sky, highlighting the industrial nature of the scene. Joesting's use of vibrant, contrasting colors and bold, geometric shapes evoke a sense of energy and modernity. This work is characteristic of the American art movement of the 1930s, often referred to as "Regionalism," which explored the landscapes and everyday lives of rural and urban America.
