Description This is one of two remaining woodcuts in our collection by celebrated printmaker Carol Summers. We don't normally purchase "editions," but his are more like unique paintings because of the distinct methods that he utilized to create subtle variations in shapes and hues. His woodcuts are not "cookie cutter,” each one was lovingly created by him. As he himself wrote, "So, as one who prints his own prints, I don't see editioning as a sterile act of reproducing an original. Each child is different -- the mother in me takes them all to heart, but the artist throws out the ones I don't like. They make wonderful wrapping paper." And the man had a sense of humor! We are especially fond of the subject matter and color palette from the 1960s and 70s. This edition of only 50 was from 1967. We are children of the 70s here at Tableau and this one really speaks to us. We feel the love! Details Carol Summers (American, 1925-2016) Fonte Limon (1967) Woodcut on Japanese paper Signed, dat
