About this work
A.Y. Jackson, an employee of Sampson-Matthews, instigated the wartime silkscreen art program and was its biggest contributor, providing 12 works throughout the run of the program. In many of these works, the presence of man is evident but shown in small scale compared to the dominance of nature. Jackson uses touches of red to warm otherwise cold scenes again in “Maple and Birch” (1947-1953), where a stand of white birch trees loses its leaves on a clear fall day.
