The Miner 1937

"The Miner" (1937) is a black and white lithograph by American artist Kenneth Miller Adams (1897-1966). The artwork, which is a powerful portrayal of a man in a mine, depicts the miner's back, emphasizing his powerful physique and laborious work. Adams’s striking use of light and shadow further enhances the feeling of depth and isolation within the underground setting. This print is a powerful testament to the physical toll of mining and a testament to the artist’s keen attention to detail.
