Rare 1971 Clifton Karhu Japanese Woodblock Print Titled "Winter Garden"
About the Item
A Finnish-American who lived and died in Japan, Clifton Karhu (1927-2007) devoted himself to the art of woodblock printmaking and is today considered one of the foremost masters of the medium. He resided in Japan for over 50 years and drew inspiration from the vibrant streets of various prefectures, active ports along the coasts, and scenes of nature as they progressed through the seasons. You will see these elements often in his work.
This woodblock is a rarity among Karhu's work. Being of a scale much larger than he usually created. Including the frame, the woodblock measures 33 1/2” long x 24 1/2” tall x 1” thick. The matte window measures 24 5/8” long x 16” tall.
