Moon Tree 1957

"Moon Tree" (1957) is a black and white woodcut by American artist Herbert S. Lourie (1923-1981). The work features a stylized, geometric representation of a tree, rendered in sharp lines and contrasting black and white tones. The print evokes a sense of depth and perspective through the use of overlapping planes and receding lines. Lourie was known for his abstract, expressive works that often explored themes of nature and the human condition. His bold, graphic style, influenced by both cubism and expressionism, is evident in this evocative and visually captivating print.
