'Back-Country in Moonlight'





By Cynthia
Beautiful example of a unique art form
This is an exceptional example of an art form that could be threatened by contemporary forms of communications: woodcut illustrations of stories from Brazil?s Northeast, hung from strings and sold in markets. This master artist has created a wonderful evocative and humorous scene with deep cultural resonance.

Love it! Looks wonderful in a floating frame. Will definitely look to purchase additional works from this talented artist. Quality work!
