Young Woman 1957

"Young Woman" is a woodcut print created in 1957 by American artist Millicent Krouse (1930-1990). The artwork depicts a young woman in a black sweater, her hands clasped in front of her, against a background of a printed woodcut of a woman in an ornate gown. The piece is characterized by bold lines and stark contrasts, typical of Krouse's style. This work showcases her mastery of the woodcut technique, evident in the expressive lines and detailed textures. The use of a contrasting background suggests a reflection on history or the interplay of past and present.
