Description
Binnie's "Autumn" (秋) is a seasonal landscape print employing the bokashi gradation technique to render the tonal transitions of the autumn scene — from warm amber and crimson through cool shadow — with the atmospheric subtlety that defines his landscape work. Autumn is the season of mono no aware, the Japanese aesthetic awareness of impermanence heightened by the spectacular transience of autumn color, and Binnie's print engages with this emotional dimension of the season while deploying the full technical range of the woodblock medium.
