Bird

A bird — the subject simplified to the essential category that encompassed Kimura's greatest sustained interest as a printmaker. Across his career, Kimura returned to bird subjects again and again, exploring them in multiple species, poses, seasons, and colorways, finding in avian form an inexhaustible source of graphic exploration. This print may depict a specific species or may present a more generalized bird form — an abstracted bird essence rather than a portrait of a particular species.
