Planting 1946

"Planting," a 1946 woodcut by Ruth Leaf, depicts a rural scene of a couple planting in a field. Leaf uses bold lines and contrasting colors to convey the simplicity and dignity of farm life. The composition is balanced with the figures on the right side of the image and a farmhouse in the background, creating a sense of harmony and connection to the land. This artwork is a testament to Leaf's talent for capturing the essence of everyday life in her work.
