Boy with Sumac,, (undated)

Lubell 6/5: 75a-e

Five woodblock prints of a four color image of a boy holding a sumac leaf. Differences between the copies are primarily in both quality and use of color. 75a, for example, has the deepest range of color and ink, with small details like the leaf’s partial decomposition filled with distinct shades of red. Two others are also 4 color, but with much less depth (75b is close to the 75a in color depth). All of the fully colored pieces (75a-c) use the same colors: green shirt for the boy, and a yellow background composed of vertical lines. 75d and 75e have two colors: brown for the outline and red for the leaf. 74d is printed on thinner rice paper than the others. Other copies of this print are numbered Lubell 311, titled Tall Grass. The woodblock is titled Tall Grass (Lubell 495, Box 39). This is one of several woodblock prints that appear to form a series: Tall Grass. See Lubell 312 and Lubell 313.
