Cherry Snow 1906

"Cherry Snow" is a color woodcut print by American artist Helen Hyde, created in 1906. The print, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a young Japanese woman in traditional clothing standing amidst falling cherry blossoms, evoking the ephemeral beauty of spring. Hyde, known for her Japonisme style, captures the delicate beauty of nature and the elegance of Japanese culture in this charming and evocative work. The use of color and line creates a sense of movement and lightness, perfectly capturing the fleeting nature of the cherry blossoms.
