Venus 1964

"Venus," a 1964 print by Sid Hammer, depicts a female figure in a simplified, almost abstract style. The figure is rendered in white against a dark background, emphasizing its form and contours. The work utilizes the technique of etching, creating a textured surface that adds to the sense of physicality. Hammer's style, influenced by Expressionism, often explores themes of the human form and its relationship to nature. The print exemplifies his signature use of bold lines and simplified shapes, conveying both intimacy and a sense of monumentality.
