Sauvie's Island uses simple black lines to capture man and nature. The silhouette of the solo male figure, with a hat and fishing line, is placed next to a large tree by a pond. There is little movement in the image aside from the man's turned head. The bottom of the print exhibits fishing, plant symbols and a frying pan. This image is about a phenomenon that sometimes seems to occur to fishermen who have gone fishless for the day. Cunningham has a marvelous command of black and white pattern and texture. His detailed linocuts (prints made from an image cut into linoleum which is rolled with ink and then printed) present a close and often whimsical look at slices of life.
