#143 Telephone Booths, woodcut, 1972, 16" x 22.375" (image size)

Telephone Booths, 1972, original Jacques Hnizdovsky limited edition woodcut, hand printed, signed and numbered by the artist. Telephone booths, reprising Hnizdovsky's favorite subject from his art school days (the human form). Hnizdovsky was fascinated by the pattern of the red telephone booths in China Town (New York), and felt that clothing would greatly distract the viewer's attention from the patterns of the booths, and also from the patterns created by the curves of the subjects' bodies.
