"Orpheus and the Sirens" is a 1983 woodcut print by American artist James Lesesne Wells (1902-1993). Depicting the Greek myth of Orpheus's journey to the underworld, Wells uses a vibrant and expressive style to depict the scene. The viewer sees Orpheus's boat, the Sirens beckoning him, and the mountainous landscape. The bold, graphic lines of the woodcuts contribute to the dramatic and emotive nature of the artwork.
