Description from the seller
Artists
Maeda Morikazu (前田守一, 1932–2007)
Title
"Spring in the Hills" (Haru no oka)
Technology / Material
Original Japanese color woodblock print (Sōsaku-hanga) on heavy Washi paper with a decorative deckle edge. Hand-signed, dated and numbered.
Format:
Overall dimensions: approx. 40.5 × 28.5 cm
Edition: 27 of 60 (bottom left, numbered in pencil)
Dating
1982 (bottom right, personally signed and dated by the artist in pencil)
Description:
An outstanding example of modern Japanese printmaking from the postwar era. Maeda Morikazu uses a unique, almost mosaic-like technique to render the vegetation. The luminous pink hills in the foreground create a strong contrast with the rhythmically arranged blue trees of the mountain landscape beneath a bright full moon.
Maeda was a master of Sōsaku-hanga, in which the entire process from design, carving, and printing was in the artist's hands. The very small edition of only 60 pieces makes this print a rare collectible.
state
