Xmas New Year 1926 - 1927

"Xmas New Year" is a woodblock print by American artist C. Bertram Hartman, created in 1926-1927. This work showcases the artist's signature use of bold, graphic forms and simplified lines, characteristic of the Art Deco style popular during the 1920s. The print depicts two figures, perhaps representing the spirit of the holidays, in a stylized, almost architectural setting. Hartman's use of strong black and white contrasts contributes to the graphic power of the image, making it a striking and memorable piece of art.
