Letter "G" Possibly 1953

Jan Giesen made this woodcut, 'Letter G,' sometime in the 20th century, carefully carving away the block to leave only what he wanted to print. Look at how the dark ink blooms across the page. It feels like a medieval woodcut but with a twist of something modern. I wonder what Jan was thinking about as he carved this? Maybe he was imagining the very first 'G' and its creation myth. The letter cradles what looks like a classic Adam and Eve scene – talk about origins! You can almost feel the artist's hand in the way the lines are cut, each mark deliberate and full of intention. Woodcuts, like painting, have a long history, but it’s cool how each artist finds their own voice through the medium. It’s like they’re all having this ongoing conversation through time, inspiring each other.
