Fruit Tree c. 1957

"Fruit Tree" is a 1957 print by Charles Knowles, a prominent artist of the mid-20th century. The artwork depicts a stylized fruit tree with red circular fruits and black leaves. The tree's trunk and branches are represented by dark lines, creating a textured effect. Below the tree, a cluster of scattered rectangular shapes in shades of brown and gold suggest fallen leaves or fruit. This simplistic yet expressive composition showcases Knowles' ability to capture the essence of nature through abstract forms, characteristic of his artistic style.
