Abandoned Quarry II 1944

"Abandoned Quarry II" (1944) is a black and white woodcut print by American artist Wanda Gág. Gág is known for her woodcuts, which often depict rural landscapes and scenes from everyday life. This work, like many of Gág's prints, features a stark and simplified aesthetic, with strong lines and deep shadows, highlighting the rugged beauty of the quarry landscape. It is held in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and is a notable example of Gág's distinctive woodcut style.
