East River, Evening 1919

Rudolph Ruzicka's 1919 woodcut "East River, Evening" depicts a serene scene of the New York City waterfront. The artist's signature style of detailed linework and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the industrial skyline, a docked ship, and a group of figures silhouetted against the twilight sky. This masterful print captures the tranquility of the city at dusk, a stark contrast to the bustling energy that would have defined the East River during the day.
