Description
"Nashi to Budou" (Pears and Grapes). Two pears, two appes, one persimmon, bunches of green and dark-colored grapes, and a black vase are placed on a stylized table.
Toru Mabuchi was a fine technician who could do elaborate printings using thirty to fifty printing stages. He did not want to use only the traditional method. Since he had been interested in the Byzantine mosaics and the pointillist paintings of Seurat, he developed a printing technique by using small pieces of wood pasted on print blocks like mosaic stones. |
