Description
For this greeting card for the New Year, Baumann provides a “a bright silver lining” with his use of a sheet of silver reflective coated paper that he affixed his woodcuts to. Baumann’s fascination with the reflective nature of silver dates to 1928 when he introduced aluminum leaf as a color in his woodcut, Song of the Sea.
