Governor's Palace 1926

"Governor's Palace" is a 1926 woodcut by American artist Howard Cook (1901–1980). The print depicts a scene of men gathered on the veranda of a building. Cook's signature style is evident in this work, which is characterized by its simplified forms, bold lines, and strong contrasts of light and dark. The work is a representation of the historic Governor's Palace in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and is a prime example of the artist's interest in the American Southwest and its culture.
