Description
Cora Boone approached this composition like it may have been a design for a future white-line woodcut, separating the areas of color with heavy black lines, like a stained glass window. Had this been done on a block the black lines would have been cut away, leaving the uncut areas separated from each other, ready to be colored using brush.
The vase of magnolias pushes the limits of the composition, extending to or beyond the edges, adding to the simple drama of the work.
