Pumpkin Sky 1947

"Pumpkin Sky" is a 1947 color woodcut by American artist Hulda D. Robbins (1910-2010). This print uses simplified forms and bold colors, characteristic of the artist's style, to depict a landscape with a single tree and a sky that appears to be on fire with shades of orange and red. Robbins's works often explore the interplay of light and shadow, and "Pumpkin Sky" is an evocative example of her distinctive aesthetic. The use of color, the simplified lines and geometric shapes of the tree, and the impressionistic sky bring a sense of whimsy and abstraction to the work. This woodcut is a testament to the artist's mastery of her medium, as well as her keen observation of the natural world.
