19. The Visitation

Description: This piece uses simple black lines to capture man and nature. The silhouette of the solo male figure, with a hat and fishing line is set against a horizontally lined lake. There is little movement in the image aside from the man's turned head. Above the man is a winged being with large wings, which may represent an angel. The left bottom of the print exhibits a darkened square showing a man praying--perhaps to the angel of fishing? This image is an image about a special mood in a special place, Sauvie's Island. 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.
