Got this image from Art Knowledge News. It's a website with pretty much global coverage of the arts-- short articles about what's happening in every major gallery from Winnipeg to Mumbai.I love Japanese print-making in general-- this one's newer than the big names of Japanese printmaking, though-- guys like Hiroshige and Hokusai, artists who van Gogh and Monet and others were hugely inspired by.
This one's from 1928 but is darn nice. "Sea of Clouds", it's called.

I like how the top part of the sky is more realism, and the bottom part has that woodblock quality to it.
yeah, totally. i think what you're seeing there is the mix of the old and the new-- modern international styles creeping into traditional japanese.
How is the book coming?
ha! carlos asks me that almost every day. it's almost done, thanks for asking. literally just a few more long days, i think, and then i start talking to publishers.
