Chinaman’s Garden 1933

Dorrit Black's 1933 woodcut, "Chinaman’s Garden", captures a simplified, almost geometric, view of a garden landscape. The artist utilizes stark black and white to create a sense of depth, emphasizing the angular shapes and the interplay of light and shadow. Black was a prominent Australian artist known for her bold graphic style, and her works often reflected the landscape and urban life of her time. This print showcases her signature minimalist approach, creating a striking composition through simple lines and shapes.
