Construction 1950

"Construction" (1950) is a print by Australian artist Morris Atkinson Blackburn, depicting a close-up view of wooden planks and beams. Created with a dark palette and gestural lines, the artwork conveys a sense of abstract structure, reminiscent of the artist's interest in Cubism and Expressionism. This work exemplifies Blackburn's later style, characterized by a focus on the materiality of his subjects and an exploration of light and shadow. It is a powerful example of his unique artistic vision, showcasing his skill in translating everyday objects into compelling abstract compositions.
