Indians Netting Salmon c. 1935 - 1940

Robert von Neumann's "Indians Netting Salmon" is a striking black and white woodcut, created between 1935 and 1940. The scene depicts a group of Indigenous people fishing for salmon with nets, capturing the intensity of their activity. The artist's use of strong lines and contrasts in light and shadow creates a dynamic and energetic composition. The print is a powerful testament to the artist's skill and the importance of traditional fishing practices in Indigenous cultures.
