Summer c. 1930s

"Summer" is a color woodcut created by American artist Sylvan Boxsius (1878-1941) around the 1930s. The print features a pastoral landscape with a small farmhouse nestled amongst lush greenery, framed by a white picket fence. The scene is bathed in the soft light of a summer day, with fluffy clouds drifting across the sky. Boxsius's use of vibrant colors, particularly the warm tones of the farmhouse and foliage, creates a sense of tranquility and idyllic beauty. The Minneapolis Institute of Art holds this evocative work in its collection, showcasing Boxsius's mastery of the woodcut medium and his talent for capturing the essence of a peaceful summer day.
