Comments |
Striking--this print depicts a bat flying in
shilouette beneath a full moon set into a background
of concentrically carved circles--typical of many of Clark's prints which emphasize highly visible natural "woodgrain."
Once full edition of 40 prints completed, Clark "strikes his initials" into the block's face to ensure
NO future printings. Reminiscent of the earlier "shin-hanga" works by artists such as Koson and Sozan,
commissioned and sold EXCLUSIVELY by Ukiyoe-Gallery. (Note: This first "Artist's Proof" copy has "red seal"
in lower margin.) |
