Gallery LabelFred Geary, a Missouri native, possessed a talent for translating the spirit of a place into a graphic image. Beginning in the late 1920s, he traveled throughout the Southwest. These excursions provided subjects for his woodcuts, like this untitled print. It is similar in size to a postcard. Like a postcard, the woodcut describes imagery popularly associated with the Southwest, including a man wearing a sombrero and riding a burro.
