Description
This is a woodblock print with mixed media by Maki Haku titled “Poem 71-41 (Road)”, numbered 17 of 154 and dated 1971. It has an artist seal in red and a pencil signature and title in the lower margin. It is framed with a simple black frame and mat. Maki Haku (1924–2000), born Maejima Tadaaki in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan, was a member of the Ichimoku-kai printmaking group founded in 1946 by Onchi Koshiro. He later adopted the name Haku Maki in the early 1950s. His technique combined cement relief with carved woodblocks and deep embossing on double-layered paper. His work focused on abstracted pottery shapes and kanji characters. He participated in the first and second Tokyo International Biennales in 1957 and 1960 and gained international recognition through exhibitions and publications such as The Modern Japanese Print: An Appreciation in 1962 and Festive Wine in 1969. His works are held in major museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It measures approximately H: 23.5" x W: 16.75" and is in good condition.
