Sidney Joseph

Sidney Joseph (1876 - 1950) was a prominent American artist known for his abstract and cubist works. His style is characterized by the use of bold, geometric shapes and stark black and white contrasts, as seen in his woodcut "Head". This piece captures a figure's face in a fragmented and angular manner, reflecting the influence of Cubism and its emphasis on breaking down forms into their basic geometric components. Joseph’s work offers a unique perspective on the human figure, capturing both its physicality and the complexities of human perception.
