American mid-century etching by listed artist Helen B. Beck entitled ‘Spring Song’, circa 1960-1980. Depicted is a brook rushing through shadows cast by a tangle of branches within a rolling landscape; the whole illuminated by radiated and filtered spring sunlight.
Beck clearly has a masterful understanding of light, contour and shadow; the viewer is immersed in the almost fantastical experience of the world coming to life.
