Flower Image 1956

This 'Flower Image' print, was made by Jim Forsberg in 1956, and it’s got such a cool, graphic feel. I imagine Forsberg, carefully carving away at the block, bit by bit, to create these abstract, organic shapes. He might have been thinking about growth, nature, and the way simple forms can suggest so much. It's all in black and white, which gives it a bold, modern punch. Look at those leaf-like shapes, some whole, some split open - it's like he’s playing with the idea of what a flower even *is*. There's a real conversation happening here with other printmakers and graphic artists, all riffing on nature, abstraction, and the power of simple lines. It's a testament to how artists keep inspiring each other across time, each adding their own unique voice to the mix.
