Jim Steg (1922-2001) Woodcuts

Amanda Winstead Fine Art is pleased to present these beautiful woodcuts by Jim Steg from the estate of the artist. The accessibility of the woodblock printing technique enabled Steg to create a powerful body of work during his many travels.

In 1959, Steg was awarded the Carnegie Fellowship and spent the following year living in Rome, Italy. Remarkably, many of his woodcuts from this time are monumental in scale without losing any quality. In addition to serving as a testament to his skill as a master printmaker.
