Description
Danish-born Swedish artist Albert Larsen (1885 - 1957) did this woodcut in 1923. He used a black, linear block to carry the composition, a gray tint block and allowed the paper to show through in the clouds.
Larsen depicts a Scandinavian road, running between plowed fields and bordered by large, art deco trees. In the background large white storm clouds form over dark rain clouds. In the margin he wrote "Eget Tryk", Danish for "My impression" (Artist's Proof).
From the collection of the Danish writer, critic, and collector, Georg Frederik Brøchner (1847-1933). Brøchner wrote many articles for The Studio and The International Studio.
