"Landscape with Mount Fuji in the Distance," Emil Orlik, 1908.
Czech-born painter Orlik (1870-1932) isn't well known, having worked a lot as an illustrator and lithographer, but he deserves a closer look.
He was one of few Western artists who wasn't content to simply admire the Japanese prints that were popular in Europe, but to actually go to Japan and undertake an apprenticeship in traditional woodblock printing.
This landscape, done with Western sensibilities and with Japanese technique, has almost intense use of color and sense of composition. I want a print.
From a private collection.
