Description

Uehara Konen — Ocean Waves | Shin Hanga PrintUehara Konen (18781940) was a Japanese Shin Hanga printmaker associated with the movement's seascape and nature subjects. His ocean wave compositions bring together the traditional Japanese representation of water the crashing, foam streaked waves of the ukiyo e tradition with the atmospheric refinement and colour sensitivity of the Shin Hanga approach. Printed as a museum grade gicle on Hahnemhle fine art paper using 12 ink archival pigment printing.
