Green and Yellow Landscapes

1947

Shinagawa Takumi Japanese, 1908-2009

Japan

In these two prints, the artist used the same blocks with a different color scheme. The other print differs most dramatically in the inclusion of a dark green hue that significantly demarcates certain features of the landscape. The colors in this print contrast less with each other, giving the print a more impressionist quality.
