Subject:Painting or print?
Posted By: Irene Mon, Oct 12, 2015 IP: 76.121.121.205 Thank you for earlier information! This art work is not a block print, there is no bleeding on the back. i would like to know if it is a real painting. It is on heavy woven type of material the black border is also painted on the material. Thanks for your help!!! |

Posted By: Marc Kahn Tue, Oct 13, 2015 It is indeed a woodblock print designed by Kawase Hasui, published by Watanabe Shozaburo in 1937, titled "Yumoto Spa, Nikko". My guess is that it is laid down to the black fabric and that it was pressed down onto that backing so hard that the texture is visible through the print paper. |
