Beautiful TADASHI NAKAYAMA Japanese Woodblock Print Zen Garden Ryoanji RARE 1961

The piece is 26″ x 33″ and unframed. The piece is #32 in a low edition of 50. There is a small 1/2 tear to one side away from the image. A good framer will be able to minimize all of the issues. I have seen several of Nakayama’s prints and they can all be rough from his technique. The print is a rare early minimalist image of Zen Rocks floating on deep rich lines. The rocks are printed with metalized inks that shine and show differently as the light and the viewer’s perspective change. For all it’s simplicity this is one of the most complex and deep prints I have ever handled. It was not easy to photograph and will be different every time you see it. In bright light the warm reddish floating lines become the focus and in low light the rocks float in space. This is a stunning print by a True Artist, Master Printmaker and Visionary.
