Spangles 1925

"Spangles", a woodcut print created in 1925 by Australian artist Lionel Lindsay (1874-1961), depicts a rooster standing beside a water dish. The detailed black and white image utilizes a striking contrast to highlight the bird's plumage and features, and the rooster's proud posture and alert gaze imbue it with a sense of life. The subject matter and style are characteristic of Lindsay's work, which often focused on animals and nature, employing a graphic aesthetic reminiscent of traditional woodcuts.
