About this work

This woodcut from 1923 shows Eric Gill’s bold, simple lines. It’s a small print with big impact. Gill carved the image into wood, then inked and pressed it onto paper. The woodcut is part of a series called Sculpture. Gill wasn’t tied to one art movement, but his work shaped modern British sculpture.
