Bertha Boynton Lum (1869 – 1954) was an American artist and printmaker. In the early 20th century she travelled to Japan to learn the art of wood block printing. She would return often to the land of the rising sun and often used Japanese folklore as the subject of her prints. She also lived in China in the 1920’s and helped to introduce wood block techniques in the west.
Song for today: Daughter – The Woods
lovely. these are beauty – as if alive with light form somewhere else
I know, i only found out about her a couple of days and love her colors and as you say the light as well
Lovely transition between traditional Japanese woodblock and contemporary print.
Indeed. I find it hard to believe the prints are almost 100 years old, they feel so fresh.
