Opening of the Season 1928

"Opening of the Season" is an etching by Philip Little, a prominent American printmaker, created in 1928. The artwork, held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a lone figure fishing in a river, silhouetted against a landscape of trees and rocks. Little's signature style is evident in the bold lines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, reminiscent of the tonal effects of Japanese woodblock prints. The etching captures a quiet moment of solitude and connection with nature, inviting viewers to reflect on the simple pleasures of outdoor life.
