(Taos Pueblo, Moonlight)
1927

A black and white woodcut print depicting a stark, angular urban landscape with buildings and elongated shadows. A solitary figure is seen in the foreground on a street, adding a sense of scale and solitude to the scene. The sky is filled with dynamic, radiating lines suggesting either intense light or energy emanating from above.
