Bremen #2 1931

"Bremen #2" (1931) is a woodcut by Howard Cook (1901-1980). The print depicts a close-up view of the deck of the SS Bremen, a German ocean liner known for its speed and luxury. The artist's bold black and white lines capture the ship's streamlined design and the industrial power of its machinery. The image offers a glimpse into the excitement and grandeur of transatlantic travel in the early 20th century. The artwork is a powerful example of Cook's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to capture the spirit of a particular place and time.
