"Asleep in the Hay, " Art Deco Print with Half-Nude Male by Lynd Ward, 1932
About the Item
Famed for his woodcut book illustrations in the Art Deco era, Lynd Ward produced a series of dramatic images that reminded the reader of film noirs of the era, with spotlit figures in dark settings that seemed to presage flight, fear, hope and death. Unsigned plates from the books he illustrated are not uncommon, but signed prints such as this are rare. This image was an illustration for "Wild Pilgrimage" by Ward, published by Harrison Smith & Robert Haas in 1932. It shows a half-nude man, upside down, asleep in a luxurious pile of hay, with a moonlight landscape outside the window, all executed in precise, beautiful detail. The print is signed in the lower-right. (Dimensions include matte; print itself is 9.5" high by 6.5" wide.)

Lynd Ward
Lynd Ward was an American artist and storyteller, known for his series of wordless novels using wood engraving, and his illustrations for juvenile and adult books. His wordless novels have influenced the development of the graphic novel. Strongly associated with his wood engravings, he also worked in watercolor, oil, brush and ink, lithography and mezzotint. Ward was the son of Methodist minister and political organizer Harry F. Ward.
