Titled simply *Man*, this 1962 wood engraving by Misch Kohn is credited in the Library of Congress record as an imprint, and it is catalogued among the abstract prints of the 1960s. The work belongs to a period when American printmakers were pushing wood engraving, a centuries-old technique built on fine white-line cutting, toward looser, nonrepresentational forms. Kohn was among the artists who helped keep the medium vital in the decades after World War II, showing that a craft long associated with book illustration could carry modern ideas. Viewers should expect a focus on shape, tone and cut line rather than a literal scene.
