VINTAGE KUNIHIRO AMANO “BIRD TRANSFORMS ROCK” LARGE SIGNED AND NUMBERED 19/50 LIMITED-EDITION MOUNTED WOODBLOCK PRINT FROM 1967. Here’s a wonderful LARGE signed/numbered LIMITED EDITION woodblock print created by the Japanese Sosaku Hanga (Creative Print Movement) artist Kunihiro Amano b. It measures 20 1/2″ x 30″ (images 18 1/2″ x 28″) and features a large bird and smaller cropped bird “fossilized” onto flat planed rocks on a nicely grained wood board image. The birds have ABSTRACT GEOMETRY superimposed into their bodies and there’s cropped abstract cherry tree branches on the right side suggesting a cherry tree outside of the picture plane. It’s HAND-SIGNED with the title in Japanese and “19/50″ and “Kunihiro Amano” and “’67″ (1967) in pencil in the lower-left outer margin corner (see photo). This large woodblock print is number 19 out of only 50 made and is quite rare to find! It’s mounted on old mounting board (see photo of back) and awaits matting/framing. This vintage large mounted woodblock print is in good condition for being 55 years old but has old stain spots in the upper-left and lower-left margin edge corner areas not visible in the printed images (would not be visible with matting). The lower-left corner area has a few tiny surface scratches which doesn’t detract. The upper-right corner margin edge area has a tiny corner bump with a little matting board loss not affecting the images. The outer margin edge has some lite toning spots not affecting the images. Please see photos for condition. This vintage large woodblock print will mat/frame nicely! Please review our STELLAR FEEDBACK which references great products and service.
