Rio de Janeiro Favela Woodcut Print in Black and White, "Rio de Janeiro Favela"

Tucked amid strong vertical line, windows look out on bustling action. Busy line crosses insistent fields and paths wend their way skyward. Andre de Miranda evokes rather than depicts a favela, the informal urban neighborhoods around Rio de Janeiro. Rich texture suggests the depth of experience enclosed there.
