And Their Eyes were Opened 1955

Fritz Eichenberg's 1955 woodcut, "And Their Eyes were Opened," depicts a scene from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The detailed black and white print shows Adam and Eve, a serpent, and an angel with a sword, all surrounding a large tree. The use of dark tones and fine lines create a sense of drama and solemnity. The image likely reflects a contemporary interpretation of the biblical story, emphasizing the consequences of sin and the loss of innocence.
