Clark Park

Richard (Thomas) Hood Jr., born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1910, was an American artist known for his evocative prints. Hood's work often captures the essence of his surroundings, translating the spirit of his locale into compelling visual narratives. His piece, 'Clark's Park', created in 1935, is a testament to his skill in drypoint, a technique that allows for intricate detail and tonal range. This artwork, published by the WPA, reflects Hood's ability to immortalise the charm and character of urban landscapes. His art invites viewers to explore the beauty in everyday environments, making his work both accessible and captivating.
