Red Fish Paper Cutting
Ira Blount · 2007
A bright red fish swims through a black sea in this paper cutting. Details, including scales, whiskers, fins, and gills enliven the image, but it is the fish’s alert eye that hooks the viewer. The composition highlights artist Ira Blount’s (1918-2020) skill in silhouettes and invites the viewer to imagine what captivates the fish's attention.
