"Metropolis" is a 1953 woodcut by Lucia Autorino Salemme (1919-2010). The artwork depicts a cityscape with bold lines and geometric shapes, using black ink on a cream-colored background. The artist's use of simplified forms emphasizes the urban landscape's structure, creating a sense of depth and movement. The graphic quality of the print reflects the influence of modernist art on Salemme's work.
