Provincetown Players c. 1916

"Provincetown Players" is a woodcut print from c. 1916 by the American artist Marguerite Zorach. Executed in black and white, the print features five stylized figures, two male and three female, set against a dark background of geometric patterns. The simplified forms and bold lines are characteristic of the artist's style, which draws upon the principles of modernism, particularly the influence of European art movements like Expressionism and Cubism. Zorach's use of black and white woodcut, a traditional printmaking technique, adds a sense of graphic power and starkness to the image. This print is a compelling example of Zorach's exploration of the human figure and her interest in creating expressive and dynamic compositions.
