The fluctuating use of graphic techniques like woodcut in visual art over the years can be attributed to changes in living conditions, financial patterns, and artistic trends. Woodcut is an extremely expressive technique, often used as a language of protest, and has therefore been a useful tool for many artists, especially during periods of financial hardship.
Today, when expressions of protest have become constant in our everyday lives, the woodcut technique serves as an effective means of communication for artists to interact with their surroundings. The exhibit presented in the Jerusalem Print Workshop features both established and the new generation of contemporary artists in the hopes of capturing the changes in woodcut that have transpired over time and the newfound interest in this medium.
