Sailors c. 1930

"Sailors" (c. 1930) is a black and white woodcut by Salvatore Pinto (1905-1966) depicting a crowded beach scene. Pinto utilizes stark contrasts between black and white to create a strong sense of atmosphere. The figures, rendered in a simplified style, engage in various beach activities, creating a lively and dynamic composition. The work captures a snapshot of leisure and social interaction on a summer day at the beach.
