Title 花（Ｃ）ＬＩＴＴＬＥ ＦＬＯＲＡ
この作品はつい最近入手したものです。実は作者の河野薫氏の名前は、私が１９６３年頃小樽にいた時に、知りました。
地元の学校の先生制作の、かわいらしい少女をテーマにした版画に出会いました。当時角三封筒大の版画をどなたからか頂いて、何度も見ている内に版画に興味を持った、そんな因縁の作者が河野薫氏です。
その時の版画は今どこにしまってあるか分からなくなりましたが、独特の少女の表情が記憶にあったのでしょう、上の作品を見てすぐ河野薫氏の作品と分かりました。 |

| Artist Bio: |
Kaoru Kawano was a very popular artist, known for his distinctively styled depictions of figures, especially children. He uses the woodgrain patterns to render the textures and the mood to his works.
Double-oban-sized prints are almost always limited-edition lifetime strikes that are pencil-signed, editioned, and titled by Kawano himself. There are rare later editions that have stencilled titles, which I believe are posthumous strikes.
Large-oban-sized scenes with a pencil-signed signature (usually within the printed area) will be lifetime editions signed by the artist, while unsigned prints with a black round seal on the verso will be posthumous strikes.
