"West Baker Park, 1977" by Gordon Mortensen. The artwork shows a lush landscape with visuals of trees, bushes all within meadow grasses. The artist has carved the image from a block of wood based on a watercolor sketch. Two to four dozen colors were incorporated into two to three dozen press runs to produce each edition. Professionally matted and encased in a light tone of frame, the print is a Limited Edition of 47 of 150 and is hand numbered with the artist signature, protected by glass. Condition is good, minimal wear. About the Artist:"Born near Arnegard, North Dakota in 1938, Mortensen received his BFA degree with Honors in 1964 from the Minneapolis School of Art, now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and he was enrolled in the graduate program at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul between 1969 and 1972. Gordon Mortensen is one of the best-known reduction woodcut print artists in the U.S. He works from watercolor studies to understand the color dynamics needed for the woodcut. He uses up to sixty-four colors and takes as long as three months to create a woodblock image. Although the final outcome has a painterly feel, it is unmistakably a woodcut with rich layered colors and wood grain textures." See
