On the Open Sea | René Quillivic | 1921

Boats rise and fall within a sea built from sweeping bands, concentric circles and tightly repeated lines. Quillivic gives the waves an almost carved solidity, while a pale disc and wheeling seabirds mark the open space above them. The woodcut’s force comes from the opposition of black and white: separate rhythms of sky, hull and water become one continuous movement.
