Christmas: An American Annual of Christmas Literature and Art

Christmas: An American Annual of Christmas Literature and Art features a bold, angular representation of the nativity scene. The geometric style, along with the sharp, expressive lines, gives the image a modernist feel while still conveying the traditional Christmas narrative. The deep red background contrasts with the earthy tones of the figures, drawing attention to the central figures of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. The outlined figures in the background, possibly shepherds and onlookers, add depth and a sense of movement to the composition.
