Description
Taylor turned to the medium of woodcut in 1959 and he purposely printed his woodcuts in black and white. His often lyrical subject matter was expressively rendered with patterns or outlined with white or black lines. The figures in Strollers seem to have been plucked off Fifth Avenue in their too fashionable attire for the rustic landscape in which they are strolling.
