Symbolic Realism c. 1958

Helmi Dagmar Juvonen's *Symbolic Realism* is a black and white woodcut created around 1958. The print features a densely packed composition of stylized figures and geometric patterns. The artist uses thick lines and stark contrasts to create a powerful and expressive image, characteristic of the woodcut medium. The subject matter suggests a symbolic narrative, with a central figure holding a swaddled baby, surrounded by other figures and animals. *Symbolic Realism* highlights Juvonen's unique style, combining elements of folk art, primitivism, and symbolism. The artwork is a testament to her artistic expression and her mastery of the woodcut technique.
