Drowned Shadow 1958

"Drowned Shadow" is a striking black and white woodcut print by Maria Bonomi, created in 1958. The abstract composition is composed of bold, gestural lines and shapes, rendered in a stark contrast of black and white. The use of negative space and the interplay of light and dark create a sense of depth and dynamism, evoking a feeling of both darkness and light. This work showcases Bonomi's skillful use of the woodcut medium to express a profound sense of emotion and abstraction.
