Sunday, 8 July 2007 This print, done around 1950, is typical of Kawano's work: simple, abstract shapes, strong design, and use of wood grain to remind us of the medium. Here, two girls suggest a feeling of tenderness and intimate friendship with merging arms and subtle facial expressions. A small label from T.Z.Shiota on the reverse indicates the title, "COUPLE <8>", and inventory (?) numbers. In excellent condition, this woodblock is signed in pencil at the lower-right within the image. Print size is 9 1/4" x 14 3/4"; sheet size is 11 1/4" x 16 5/8". |
This print is approx 11 by 16". Good bleed through of paint as shown in the pictures. It is unframed and signed in pencil and has the artist red stamp. This one is of 2 girls. There is a crease on one of the scirts. The edges are a bit wrinkled. |
