The Eruption 1930

"The Eruption" is a woodblock print by Dorrit Black created in 1930. The artwork features a vibrant cityscape with a prominent red eruption in the sky. Black's bold use of color and geometric shapes are characteristic of her modernist style. The scene is depicted in a simplified, almost abstract manner, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow. The work captures the energy and dynamism of urban life during the early 20th century. This print is a compelling example of Black's artistic exploration of the visual language of modernism.
