Description:
THIS PRINT IS AN ORIGINAL WOODBLOCK - NOT A REPRODUCTION OF A WOODBLOCK. THE ARTIST, KAORU KAWANO, 1916-1965, IS NOTED FOR HIS DECEPTIVELY SIMPLE PORTRAYALS OF HUMAN, FLORAL AND ANIMAL FORMS. THEY TYPICALLY FEATURE CONTRASTY COLORING AND WOODGRAIN EFFECTS FROM SPECIALLY VENEERED BLOCKS TO ENHANCE THE VISUAL IMAGE. THE PRINT HAS KAWANO'S SEAL IN RED. THE IMAGE SIZE IS 9 1/4" x 14 3/4". THE PRINT IS FRAMED IN BLACK WITH A GREY MATT. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THE MATT BUT THE VISIBLE IMAGE IS CLEAN, UNFADED AND UNSTAINED SO I'M CONFIDENT THE PRINT IS UNTRIMMED AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
