This group of woodcuts on paper by Hope Brooks Meryman were made during her all too short art career in New York City in the 1960s. Hope died of cancer in her early 40s. Meryman was a master at capturing the feeling of a moment, the atmosphere of a particular place or the character of an individual. She cut little moments into large-scale woodblocks, giving them a timeless and iconic presence. Her life in New York City, her vacations to New England and her travels to the Mediterranean informed much of the imagery in her work. Hope sketched on location, then transformed her drawings into woodcut prints in her studio by using the traditional method of hand-rubbing each edition.

During her lifetime, Hope Meryman's work was shown by the Carus, Greenwich and Associated American Galleries in New York. She exhibited extensively across the country, including the Library of Congress, the Print Club of Philadelphia, Silvermine, and the American Watercolor Society. She illustrated several books, including "Akimba and the Magic Cow", "Why the Sky is Far Away", and "One Summer". Meryman studied extensively with Antonio Frasconi, John Groth, Seong Moy and George Grosz.
Clockwise from the bottom right the pieces are entitled “Bahama Jockey”, “Ballerina” and “Basket Woman”.
