Liang Dong (b. 1926)

Warm Water of the Dragon River

1984

Woodblock print

32 x 76 cm

​

The special technique employed in this print is blind embossing, which creates bold white highlights on the white paper. It also outlines the crests of the hills and the rich black of the water. This creates a different effect from black outlining in ink, as in traditional painting. The print is a spring scene, as winter ice thaws on the Dragon River. The small birds on the foreground ice block lend a sense of scale to the landscape.
