Print by Sylvia Solochek Walters, Seven Lemons (woodcut and relief plate, 22" x 22", 1976). The image illustrates a mid-career period and body of work Sylvia Solochek Walters's art in the 1970s, when she turned to complex color printmaking and watercolors focusing on concerns associated with feminist art, such as still lifes and interiors. Works such as this still life woodcut offered a new subtle color palettes and complex compositional and spatial strategies using pattern, texture and devices such as printed or collaged frames within the picture plane. These elements combined to create contrasts of flatness and depth, and senses of both realism and fantasy in this new work. This series of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed in national art and daily press publications, and collected by major art institutions.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a mid-career period and body of work in Sylvia Solochek Walters's art in the 1970s: her turn to complex, color printmaking and watercolors focusing on still lifes and interiors drawn from her immediate environment rather than metaphorical inspirations. Critics connect this work to early feminist art concerns and note how the work gradually revealed minute details and motifs of a personal nature. In formal terms, this work shifted toward subtler palettes using secondary and intermediate colors, more complex compositional and spatial strategies using pattern and texture, and contrasts of flatness and depth, and realism and imagination. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize a key development and distinct body of work in her art, which brought her wider recognition from art and daily press publications, juried exhibitions and museums. Walters's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
