Back Home 1930 - 1935

"Back Home" is a woodblock print created by Fred Geary between 1930 and 1935. The print depicts a simple, rustic cabin nestled beneath a large tree with a wide-reaching canopy. The use of black and white creates a stark contrast, highlighting the texture of the wood and the shadows cast by the tree. Geary's mastery of woodblock printing is evident in the intricate details of the scene, particularly the overlapping lines and the subtle shading, which evokes a sense of peace and nostalgia. The work is characteristic of Geary's style, known for his evocative depictions of rural American life.
