Lowell D. Houser

Market Road, Haiti

Woodcut, c. 1927–1928

Signed and numbered 17/50 in pencil

Original limited edition woodcut by American modernist Lowell D. Houser, created during his late 1920s Caribbean period.

This work depicts a Haitian market scene rendered in Houser’s bold, graphic woodcut style — strong contrasts, carved linework, and figurative realism characteristic of early American Modernism.

Houser’s Haitian works from this period are documented in museum collections, including the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.).

This impression is signed in pencil lower right and numbered 17/50 lower center. Titled Market Road, Haiti lower left.
