The Road 1961

"The Road" is a 1961 print by American artist Sid Hammer (1926-1969). The print depicts a view of a road leading into a vast, open space under a bridge. The road is a stark white line against a dark, shadowy background, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The use of black and white creates a powerful contrast and emphasizes the industrial nature of the scene. The composition is reminiscent of the minimalist style, showcasing a focus on form and line. Hammer's "The Road" is a compelling example of printmaking and is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the stark beauty of modern urban landscapes.
