This print shows a simple black-and-white scene of a ship at sea. The waves are drawn as swirling lines, and the ship’s sails are full but slightly tilted. The sky is just a few bold strokes, and the whole thing looks carved out of wood. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed into carved lines in linoleum. This makes the white parts pop against the black background. Look up William Zorach to see more of his bold, carved prints.
