$500–$5,000. Common mountain prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Azechi's cheerful mountain prints have consistent demand. Larger and more complex compositions are most valued.
The 1955 Mountain Landscape, edition 3 of 50—a small run suggesting a particularly personal or experimental work—shows Azechi treating the alpine terrain as pure landscape rather than as the setting for human activity. The mountain landscape without a figure is rarer in his output than the mountain man compositions, and when he made it the focus, the terrain itself had to carry all the compositional energy. His bold flat color planes gave the mountains an iconic solidity appropriate to their role as the organizing principle of his artistic world.
