Rome Joshua (b. 1953 )

Rome Joshua — identified in the title with a birth date of 1953, suggesting this is a portrait of a specific person Karhu knew — is depicted in this 1991 print with the directness and warmth that Karhu brought to occasional figurative subjects late in his career. The print is among his more personal works, its subject a named individual rather than an architectural or natural scene. The 1991 date places it in the mature phase of his career, when he had established his reputation but had not yet abandoned the occasional figurative departure from his architectural focus.
