Black Range Waltz c. 1939 - 1940

"Black Range Waltz," a woodcut print created by Harold Edward West around 1939-1940, depicts a lively scene of people dancing in a dimly lit room. West's use of bold black lines and contrasting areas of white space creates a sense of movement and energy, capturing the spirit of the dance. The scene is likely set in a rural setting, perhaps a community hall or tavern, as suggested by the simple furnishings and rustic atmosphere. This print exemplifies West's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in his artwork.
