Along Alkali Creek I, 1978 Edith Freeman (1913-1992) Reduction Block Woodcut Edition 16/21, 21 x 30 inches Yellowstone Art Museum Permanent Collection Montana Cultural Trust Fund Purchase, 1989.
Few artists have been as deeply attuned as Edith Freeman to the austere beauty of Eastern Montana. Mastering reduction block woodcut printing, a challenging technique by which multiple, colored prints are achieved using a single block of wood, she based her strong compositions on study of the prairie and rimrocks, the river valleys and wildflower meadows, her backyard garden and household plants.
