Home c. 1919

"Home," a 1919 color woodcut by American artist Hall Thorpe, portrays a quaint house nestled in a rolling hillside. The artist's use of bold lines and flat planes of color, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, emphasizes the simplicity and tranquility of the scene. The warm light emanating from a window in the house creates a sense of welcoming and comfort, further enhancing the idyllic image. The artwork's title and subject matter suggest a personal and emotional connection to the concept of home, a theme that resonated with viewers during the post-World War I era.
