Kazumi Amano "From Gauge Development" Signed Limited Edition Woodblock Print
Item Details
A signed limited edition woodblock print titled, From Gauge Development circa 1969, by Japanese printmaker, Kazumi Amano (尼野和三, 1927-2001), who is best known for his very colorful, abstract woodblock prints. Amano’s love for art was realized early on in life when he started working as an apprentice for the respected woodblock artist, Munakata Shiko, but his career didn’t really begin to flourish until he moved to the United States where he continued experimenting with several different printing techniques, creating both large and small works. This beautiful woodblock print depicts a black and white spiral-like design along the bottom with wavy, colorful stripes coming out from the top in shades of purple, pink, burgundy, teal, and blue, which then begin to fade in color and intensity as they near the upper half of the print. This piece is pencil signed and dated by the artist in the lower corner and is numbered 6 out of an edition of 30. The print has a single white mat and is housed behind glass in a simple metal frame with a wire for hanging to the verso, which is meant to be hung at an angle.
