Soil (9): Town in the Earth

Hagiwara Hideo

1960

Woodblock print, ink and color on paper

Minneapolis Institute of Art

This print is part of a series of over 20 with focus on ‘Soil.’ Since 1959, Hagiwara printed the paper on both sides, thus forcing the pigment through the paper as if he would be dying it. Since this special technique was very laborious and time-consuming, he abandoned it in 1963. Gallery Not on View Gift of Sue Y.S. Kimm and Seymour Grufferman
