Audience 1936

"Audience" (1936) is a woodcut by American artist Alfred Bendiner (1899-1964). The print depicts a line of figures, seemingly gathered around a central group, with a classical column in the background. Bendiner's style is characterized by simplified forms and bold lines, giving the artwork a graphic quality. The use of black and white creates a strong contrast and contributes to the image's dynamism and sense of humor, as seen in the stylized figures and their exaggerated postures. The artist's signature and the title are included in the print, providing context and showcasing his distinct artistic voice.
