Monks 1956

Eileen Taber's 1956 print, "Monks," depicts a group of five figures, likely monks, dressed in simple, flowing robes. The bold black lines and stark contrasts create a striking visual impact and lend a sense of dynamism to the composition. Taber's use of woodcut printing technique, a method deeply rooted in artistic history, adds a textured quality to the piece. The scene, likely set in a monastic setting, evokes a sense of quiet contemplation, reflecting the spiritual nature of the subject matter.
