Thunder in the Lake

Yoshiko SHIMADA
Date
1981
Description

Color intaglio printed from a torn two-part plate on Rives wove paper.

Artist's proof. We suspect there is no edition for this print. The artist was studying at Scripps College, California, and just 21or 22 when she created this work. Subsequently her work became much more politically engaged and feminist. An evocative text already points in this artistic direction "Thunder in the middle of the lake, the image of Fo Honing (?), the superior man at night fall goes indoors for yest (?) and recuperation".

Signed, titled, dated and annotated in pencil.
