Collection Spotlight: Ram and Ewes
The printed works of Ukrainian-American artist Jacques Hnizdovsky (1915-1985) typically feature pattern-oriented designs that depict their subjects with intricacy and clarity. This woodcut print from the museum's permanent collection is an excellent example, exhibiting the artist's jovial style and perhaps his best-known subject matter: sheep.
Shown: "Ram and Ewes," 1976, Woodcut
