The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (August 17-November 9, 2003). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: An impression of the outline block is placed on this block while the ink is still wet. By applying pressure to the back of the sheet of paper, the design is transferred to the block. The wood around the areas that will be printed in color is cut away. The surface of the block is inked in green. See the impression to the right. To create the final chiaroscuro woodcut, first the tone block is printed in green, and then the outline block is printed in black over it. The white of the paper acts as highlights. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.498/1924.498_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.498/1924.498_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1924.498/1924.498_full.tif
