About this work

This print shows tall olive trees under a bright sky. The trees have thick trunks and narrow leaves. The sky is a mix of blue, yellow, and white. Pohl made this in Peru, far from Greece. He used woodcuts to copy the way local artists carved shapes. The light feels warm but not harsh, like real Mediterranean sun. Look up Pohl, Alfred (1928-2019).
