Design Plus Gallery presents "West Baker Park, 1977" a Limited Edition Woodcut Print 47/150 by Gordon Mortensen. A lush landscape featuring perfect specimens of tree, bushes and meadow grasses. The artist has carved the image from a block of basswood based on a watercolor sketch. Two to four dozen colors are incorporated into two to three dozen press runs to produce each edition. Professionally matted and framed, the print is hand numbered and signed by the artist, and protected by glass. Condition is good, minimal wear.
"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."
