About the Item

This lovely Art Deco Woodcut of Swimmer W/ Sailboats is by an Unknown artist, signed "WB" and originates from the United States, Circa 1930. Features a slender vertical rectangular composition with a standing male figure adorned in a bathing suit who appears to be standing on a dock before an expanse of water with sailboats floating alongside his head and shoulders in the background. A woodcut print, this piece utilizes carved lines with hatch work and high contrast of light and dark forms depicting the subject matter, particularly effective at defining the musculature and form of the figure while the background of water peaks through, depicted largely via the white negative space surrounding the man, creating the illusion of bright light reflecting from the water and enveloping the space. The frame in ebonized walnut is highly geometric and tiered, utilizing the geometry to round the form and add material intrigue, connecting to the bold and gestural lines of the print. This piece will style beautifully in a wide array of settings and spaces, from Art Deco to Mid-Century Modernist and Contemporary Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
