View from the Barn, 1951
Wood Engraving
This perspectival vignette peers around the edge of a barn in rural seclusion. The barn casts a dark shadow in the foreground, with a neatly stacked wood pile serving as a gate into the ascending landscape of the background. Though the crisp shadows suggest that it is summer in this print, the hard-earned wood stack is a reminder of the everchanging seasons, and the industriousness needed to survive Maine’s extremes.
