Black Boys 1938

"Black Boys" is a 1938 woodcut by Australian artist Dorrit Black (1891-1951), now housed in the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) in Sydney. Black's work is known for its stylized depiction of nature and its bold use of color. The print features a close-up view of a cluster of large, rounded forms, likely representing tree trunks, rendered in warm hues of brown, yellow, and green. The artist's use of stylized lines and textures gives the work a sense of movement and energy, highlighting the dynamic forms of the natural world.
