Dying Prophet

In the early 1960’s Albert Huie purchased a printing press and began to produce his own wood and linocuts; the process of carving reverse images into a medium, which would be either wood block or linoleum or metal. Once completed the addition of color to the blocks when printed produced these striking images. As a young child I can recall getting into a lot mischief in my father studio due to the magic of that printing press. I could not help myself; it was IMPRESSIVE and sent my imagination soaring. My father produced greeting cards and his final linocut image, carved in the late 60’s and titled “The Family”, was printed in 2004 in New York City under his watchful eye to insure integrity.

Water Carriers

The Water Carriers is a recurring theme in many of Huie’s figure compositions. A throwback to the days before water was piped into every house. People, especially women, would walk to a communal stand pipe to fetch water for domestic use. Such a practice still exists in many rural communities to this day.
