AFTERMATH






Image size:  14" x 13"
Edition:        25
Paper:           Rice 
Date:             1965c

COLOR WOODCUTS:   Following the previous posted description of the making of a woodcut:  if the print is of multiple colors, a separate wood block must be produced for each color.  Careful registration (or alignment of image elements) of the separate blocks is key to a successful multi-colored print.  The block must be re-inked for every print "pulled".  

When it didn't work exactly as intended,  AFTERMATH was still considered a successful subject for speculation!

  2. A print that one can look into for quite a while and discover real drama. I wonder if my 'story' gleaned from it is valid!
