• DESCRIPTION: An original 1983 woodcut titled Below the Bridge, by the celebrated American printmaker Letterio Calapai (1902–1993). Known for his technical mastery and long association with Stanley William Hayter’s Atelier 17, Calapai brings a refined, modern sensibility to this urban composition. The print explores the massive scale and rhythmic geometry of bridge architecture from a vantage point below the span. Calapai utilizes the bold, graphic nature of the woodcut medium to contrast heavy structural forms against the play of light and shadow. The work reflects his lifelong fascination with the intersection of human engineering and the urban environment, rendered with the precise linework and balanced composition that define his late-career mastery.
