Description

"Bobcat" is a linocut (linoleum cut) done around 1937, during the Great Depression. The image measures 11 13/16 x 8 13/16" and is pencil signed, titled and editioned 95/100. The artist printed this on a sheet of stiff, antique-white wove paper. The reference for this image is the Library of Congress 1.

This dramatic image of a bobcat, ready to pounce, is done using the white line to create the image on a black background, imposing a different dynamic than a black line on a white background.
