Tove Jansson in the Island of Bredskär, 1952
Original woodcut art print
Original woodcut art print
An original woodcut print created by hand, limited edition signed by artist.
Inspired by a photograph of Tove Jansson in the Island of Bredskär holding a telescope.
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was the acclaimed Finnish artist and author who gained world renown as the creator of the Moomin stories.
Tove and Lars Jansson bought the island and built a house called Vindrosen (The Wind Rose) in 1947.
The process involves retouching the image to enhance some elements, converting it into an illustration, carving in a relief using carving knives and then printed by hand.
I use Abachi woodblock, top shelf ink, and Japanese Awagami fineArt paper (Kozo Thin Natural).
This piece will add a crafted vintage touch to any living room, bedroom or entryway.
"Tove" is part of a larger series of original woodcuts, also including:
"Audrey Hepburn, Roman Holiday 1953"
"John F. Kennedy JFK & daughter Caroline 1960"
"Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller 1956"
Paper size: 57x42 cm
Neto print size: 41x26.5 cm
