Radiant and architecturally expressive, Venice Recalled showcases Irving Amen’s remarkable ability to translate memory, atmosphere, and place into the layered textures of the color woodcut. In this richly detailed composition, Amen reimagines the iconic cityscape of Venice through bold angular forms and a harmonious palette of warm ochres, sunlit reds, deep blues, and soft greens.
Domes, campaniles, palazzi, and bridges unfold across the scene in rhythmic, geometric planes—each carved with Amen’s signature tactile precision. Gondolas sweep beneath an intricately rendered bridge, their silhouettes adding movement and narrative to the architectural tableau. The interplay of color layers, carved contours, and graphic structure reflects Amen’s profound skill as a printmaker and his modernist sensibility.
This impression is hand-signed by the artist and numbered 26/75 in pencil, from a scarce edition of only seventy-five prints. Venice Recalled is a standout example of Amen’s European cityscape series, celebrated for their poetic blend of modernist abstraction and old-world charm.
