冬、ハンプデン by Paul Nash, 1921

Paul Nash carved this striking black-and-white scene in 1921 as a personal Christmas gift for his brother, fellow artist John Nash, as seen in the handwritten note at the top. The image transforms the English countryside of Hampden into a dramatic, almost alien landscape where trees look like jagged shards of glass and the ground rolls like heavy, folded fabric. It's a fantastic example of early modernist woodcut, showing how Nash could turn a quiet winter view into something bold and graphic long before he became famous for his surreal war landscapes.
