His large-scale, colorful woodcuts are rooted in depictions of the landscape, both real and imagined. The artist claims that his travels in New England, New Mexico, and Italy have significantly influenced his work. Chamber is a boldly colored woodcut that is obliquely composed of landscape elements-trees, mountains, water, and sky-yet is impossible to identify as landscape as such. The 1980s school of painting and printmaking to which it belongs has been called "organic abstraction." Amenoff lived and worked in Boston from 1971 to 1979, but now lives in New York and teaches at Columbia University.
