Mark Tobey
Mandarin and Flowers by Mark Tobey red abstract calligraphy lithograph drawing

1973

About the Item

An expressive, jubilant abstract composition in vibrant scarlet red, with Mark Tobey’s calligraphy-inspired mark-making creating a textured matrix of lines that seems to wave and swirl. Mark Tobey, Mandarin and Flowers 1973 Image 27 1/8 x 19 1/2 inches / 68.9 x 49.53 cm; sheet: 30 3/4 x 40 1/2 inches / 78.1 x 102.87 cm Color lithograph on cream wove paper Edition 95 with 11 AP A copy of this print is in the collection of Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo, New York; NGV, Australia; Syracuse University Art Museum, Syracuse, New York. John Cage once said of going on a walk with Mark Tobey: "It was the first time that someone else had given me a lesson in looking without prejudice, someone who didn't compare what he was seeing with something before, who was sensitive to the finest nuances of light. Tobey would stop on the sidewalks, sidewalks which we normally didn't notice when we were walking, and his gaze would immediately turn them into a work of art. He was attentive to the slightest detail. For him, everything was alive. He had an extraordinary sense of the presence of things."
