Zinnias 1924

"Zinnias" is a 1924 woodcut by Australian artist Lionel Lindsay (1874-1961). The print depicts a simple still life arrangement of zinnias in a vase against a dark background. Lindsay's use of black and white creates a striking contrast that emphasizes the delicate details of the flowers and the textured surface of the vase. This piece is a fine example of Lindsay's mastery of the woodcut technique and his interest in depicting the natural world.
