Cloister from Trie-en-Bigorre, Metropolitan Museum of Art Cloisters
Rudolph Ruzicka American, born Czechoslovakia
Not on view
One year after the Cloisters opened in Fort Tryon Park, Ruzicka made this color woodcut, one of three that respond to garden cloisters within the new building devoted to Medieval art. He carved four separate woodblocks and printed each in a different color to represent a crucifix within the garden of a cloister from the Carmelite convent at Trie-en-Bigorre, near Toulouse in the Pyrenees. The other two prints relate to the Bonnefont and Cuxa cloisters (39.23.16 and 39.23.23).
