Greetings (Christmas Card) c. 1930

"Greetings (Christmas Card)" is a woodcut print created by Arshile Gorky circa 1930. The print depicts an angel playing a stringed instrument, possibly a violin, and is framed by a thick, stylized border. The figure is rendered in a simplified, almost primitive style, reflecting Gorky's interest in folk art and ancient cultures. The image conveys a sense of both joy and solemnity, appropriate for a Christmas card. Gorky's unique combination of artistic influences is evident in this work.
